Creative works come from deep within us—a place where we’re trying to understand ourselves or the world around us. For this reason, we explore the “Three Es of Art” in Episode 43 of QWERTY Writing Life. We examine how emotions, experiences and our personal evolutions influence the art we produce. We hope you’ll share your QWERTY Challenge results with us. To do that or to drop us a line, email us any time: editorial@logosandmythospress.com.

In Episode 41 of QWERTY Writing Life we’re dispelling the theory that creativity and everyday tasks are exclusive of one another. We’ve got some specific ways we bring the two together in our own lives and what we’ve discovered along the way.
Our hope for this week’s QWERTY Challenge is that you will have a mindset change like we did, so you can embrace the creative in your everyday.

How do you measure success as a Creative? Mea and Joy share their thoughts in Episode 40 of QWERTY Writing Life. We discuss ways we would each be proud as we move forward in our careers that go beyond the shiny recognitions. It’s not always in the glitz and glamour that we find our trophies. Often, it’s in the simple acknowledgement of who we are as creatives. Interesting tidbit: we recorded this episode a while ago, and Joy has claimed one of the trophies she mentioned. Can you guess which it is?

- The Crux Anthology: https://rachaelritchey.com/the-crux-anthology/
- #LAMBookClub on Joy’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/joyerancatore
In this week’s QWERTY Challenge, we’re encouraging you to think about your own Creative Trophies. So, whether you’re a writer, a painter, a musician, a CEO … or whatever you do, get ready for a challenge that will have you digging deep.
