Ep 6: Creative Consistency 

Many people say that working on your creative project every day is the only way to achieve success but is it realistic for us to write every day, create podcasting content every day, etc? In this episode we grapple with this consistency conundrum in our creative process.

To be honest, I (Steph) have been working on my podcasts nearly every day for over two years.This consistency was initially fueled largely by a strong desire to have conversations about geeky, niche topics BUT was rejected by gatekeepers in various media over the past 20 year from sharing with large audiences (magazines, book editors, etc).   

On the other side of the consistent fence is Summer. She wants some of Steph’s consistency in her own writing endeavors but is struggling with deciding what to write about. Steph wants to relax and slow down and Summer wants more writing consistency and to gain output momentum. So basically, the creative grass is always greener. 

And a big thank you to Alex of Kwick Lights (https://kwick-lights.de/de) for recording our snazzy new intro/outro jingles! Thanks also to Lena of Lena On The Move (https://lenaonthemove.com/) for the sound idea and putting this together for us!
