My friend Jim Woods, an author, writing coach, and blogger, joins me today. We discuss his own creative journey, and the challenge of leaving a stable job behind to risk it all on a creative career, in his case, as a writer.
Today we talk about how to maintain authenticity in our work, how to keep our artistic integrity and find our true voice as artists.
