Emma Gannon: Permission to Be a Writer

Описание

In the first ever episode of Character Study, Freya sits down with Emma Gannon: author of nine books, Substack writer to 80,000 readers and one of the most distinctive voices on the internet about creative life. They talk about what it really means to build a career from creativity, the difference between performing as a creative person and actually being one, why Emma's burnout happened when she forgot to live and how stepping back from the "shiny" version of success led to her most honest work yet. Emma also talks about her new book Creative Compass—a cosy, permission-giving guide on how to return to your creative practice—and why she wanted it to feel less like a manual and more like a reminder that you're a writer and you can do this. This is a conversation about romanticising your creative life, protecting your time and energy and why the writing is always the best bit.WATCH the full episode here: https://youtu.be/m9hv0nQNGEoBuy Emma Gannon’s Creative Compass, A Year of Nothing and more.
