Creativity 101: Getting Started and Improving as an Artist

<description>&lt;p&gt;We interrupt Creativity 101 for a special episode! Help us prepare for Amie&amp;#39;s guest appearance on a big podcast.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, I&amp;#39;m writing this from the future AFTER the podcast recording happened. It went really well thank you for asking. I sat in on the whole thing and Amie killed it. For some reason, she speaks much better when she&amp;#39;s talking to someone who isn&amp;#39;t her husband (swirly eye emoji).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hey! You can pre-order Amie&amp;#39;s book now! Links are &lt;a href="https://www.amiemcnee.com/we-need-your-art-book" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;
