Allowing Faith in Your Art

Welcome to Episode 21 of the QWERTY Writing Life Podcast with Joy E. Rancatore and Mea Smith! Flowing forward from last week’s topic, we’re chatting about Allowing Faith in Your Art. We have a couple of theories about how holding back the inner convictions we hold most dear when it comes to our artistic endeavors can lead to blockades in production and often stems from some type of fear. We’ve got some encouragement for you as well!
In this week’s QWERTY Challenge, we’re urging you to dig deep within and evaluate yourself. It might not be easy, but we believe it will be worth it for you and for your art. Drop us a line and let us know how it goes!
Please share our podcast with your new friends! We’d love for them to be our new friends, too! Questions? Comments? You know what to do!

Welcome to Episode 20 of the QWERTY Writing Life Podcast with Joy E. Rancatore and Mea Smith! We’re chatting about how we were Created to Create but, somewhere along the way, we lost our ability to just let go and … CREATE! We’re sharing why we think that is and a few things we can do about it.
In this week’s QWERTY Challenge, we’re channeling a creative idea from The Artist’s Way by Jullia Cameron. Learn more about this incredible resource on creativity on her website: https://juliacameronlive.com/books-by-julia/the-artists-way-a-spiritual-path-to-higher-creativity/.

Support Teams, Part 1: Ties That Bind

Monday Sep 02, 2019
Welcome to Episode 18 of the QWERTY Writing Life Podcast with Joy E. Rancatore and Mea Smith! We’re starting a special two-part series this week, all about Support Teams! In this show, we’re focusing on the Ties That Bind—our family and close friends, most of whom likely do not share the same creative pursuits but are a huge part of our success. We will share a little about our own teams and talk about what happens when this part of your support team doesn’t support you. If you are in a situation that is abusive, please get help right now. We love you and want you to know you’re worth so much more than how you’re being treated. Here’s the most important link and phone number we’ll ever share in our shownotes: https://www.thehotline.org 1-800-799-SAFE (7233).
We want to hear how the QWERTY Challenge goes for you, too; so please drop us a line. If you’re on the side of dealing with a lack of support, we really want to hear from you so we can be cheering you on during the tough conversations we’re challenging you to have. Questions? Comments? You know what to do! Continue this week’s chat with us via email at editorial [at] logosandmythospress [dot] com.
