    #4 Creating Suspense and Misdirection with your Writing

    In this episode, we go into the genesis of the name Writegeist and properly introduce the podcast and its eponymous column on Medium with an anecdote about how I used AI for good and not for evil. Then we get into the meat and potatoes of the episode, talking about how suspense and misdirection can enrich your narrative or kill it. And I give a special shout-out of thanks to Thomas Dean Donnelly of the podcast Game Brain for sharing his insight and guidance in the evolution of this podcast. I hope you'll like, listen, follow, share and enjoy! Check out Writegeist on Medium and visit my site at carajstevens.com to learn more.

    #2 Build a Creative Road Map So You Can Always Find Your Way

    Today we're talking about building yourself a creative roadmap so you can always find your way. I was going to title today's episode a list of rules for living a more creative life. But honestly, can you think of anything less creative than a list of rules? Although I've built a career and a life around being creative and encouraging others to live their life outside the box, I still get caught in the unimaginative pitfalls of talking about things like rules for creativity. So I guess this podcast is really more about finding your creative North Star and sticking with it as much as possible. It's about crafting a path that lights your way no matter what the weather, emotionally or otherwise. And when the skies get cloudy, or you're stuck indoors and you can't see that North Star, maybe you'll think of the thoughts I offer up here in this podcast, and they could be your GPS to keep you on a creative track until your North Star. Until your North Star shines brightly again

    Episode 3: The Firefly Effect (why we are drawn to create)

    In this episode of the Writegeist podcast, our host delves into the essence of Writegeist – the spirit of creativity and writing. Exploring what creativity means at this stage in life, We reflect on the role of creative expression in connecting with others and breaking free from the isolation of one's thoughts. The episode explores the idea that creativity might be a form of releasing built-up emotions, akin to steam escaping from a teapot. The episode also touches on the struggle creatives face in balancing their creative and productive sides, questioning the validation that comes from being paid for one's creative work: is it possible to find meaningful, sustainable work that also validates one's sense of self? READ THE TRANSCRIPT Ultimately, the podcast raises the question: Is creativity a means of discovering oneself or expressing oneself? Is it a vehicle for connection or validation? Listen in and then share your thoughts to continue the conversation on creativity and writing.
