Interview with a Creative: Rachael Ritchey on Creative Balance

You get to meet one of our favorite people … and she brought a guest! We’re introducing you to Rachael Ritchey, author, designer and creative jack-of-all-trades in Episode 49 of QWERTY Writing Life. She’s chatting with us about Creative Balance, which we think fits perfectly with several of our recent topics. It also leads into a fantastic QWERTY Challenge! You’re sure to be just as inspired by Rachael as we are. Plus, Rachael brought her oldest daughter, Kassi, to join in the fun. Kassi helped us kick off our celebration of National Poetry Month by answering some behind-the-scenes questions about her poetry book, Coram Deo. Check out the links below for where you can get your copy!
