Episode 109: Tiny Creative Joys

Time is so weird right now. It's movings so slowly, and so distantly, so fluidly. There are no good words for it, really, but I think we can all agree we're living in a Twilight Zone. In “normal” life, I talk with folks a lot about finding and making time for creativity and creative projects in our daily lives. But when time is all screwed up, and when we may feel inclined to think we have way more of it on our hands than we actually do, does the challenge of fitting in creative projects go away? It sure doesn't. Have a listen for some more on this, and for some ideas for fitting creativity into your quarantine time. (Hint: I'll be doing the <a href="http://100dayproject.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">100 Day Project</a>. Maybe you, too?)
