Art as a Conversation: 3 Writing Insights from my 7-Year Old | The First Draft Club Podcast

Описание: Sometimes the best creative advice comes from the most unexpected teachers. In this episode, Mary shares three powerful insights about artistic confidence and creative decision-making—learned from watching her 7-year-old son navigate art ownership and musical performance.

If you've ever found yourself seeking permission for creative choices or writing by committee instead of trusting your vision, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on artistic ownership and creative confidence.

🎧 What you’ll learn:

✅ Why treating art as conversation (not sacred object) transforms your creative process
✅ How to develop the confidence to make creative decisions without seeking permission
✅ The difference between artistic confidence and writing by committee
✅ The power of pure trust in your creative vision
