Take a Creative Page from Kids

In Episode 8 of QWERTY Writing Life, join authors Joy E. Rancatore and Mea Smith and take a creative page from kids! Joy and Mea have learned many lessons from their children and share some in this episode. As they discuss ways they’ve encouraged creative discovery in their kids’ lives, they realized the same principles applied to their own—and other adults’.

Following the four steps they share might just lead you to discover a new passion or—at the very least—a new appreciation for a different creative medium.

If you have creative kiddos (or you’re up for learning, too), here are a few links Mea mentioned for videos she and her kids enjoyed:
