This edition of Creative Adventures clocks in at just over an hour! Pip and Tee cover a lot of ground – lots of talk about the upcoming Double Trouble run on the Amazon charts on August 8th, as well as talk about creativity, the confidence to take creative adventures, and the adventure and experience that is DragonCon.

Pip and Tee have been kind enough to release free pdf’s of their soon-to-be released books. Here are the links for you. Check them out, and if you like what you see, join us on August 8 by purchasing a copy from Amazon.com.

—————

Two weeks in a row – I’m on a roll! I actually started recording another topic and then realized I promised to talk about some creative projects that went in unexpected directions. I guess you’ll have to listen for the next episode to find out what that topic was!

Mistakes are Good!

I make a lot of mistakes when I’m working on a creative project – here, I tell you about two of them and why they turned out not to be mistakes after all.

I know the sample episode went up way back in June….. but I didn’t forget about the podcast. I really didn’t. And here’s the proof! The official episode number ONE of Creative Adventures.

What’s it about, you ask?

Its about why creativity is something everyone should have in their lives.

Give it a listen and let us know what you think.

You’re probably wondering if we gave up on the Creative Adventures podcast.? Well, we haven’t? – life just got in the way for awhile.? I’m not going to go into detail here, just hang in there and expect a new ‘cast next Wednesday.

I’m about to embark on a couple of creative adventures and I’ll be chronicling them in the podcast and on my personal blog, as well as posting occasionally highlights and progress reports here on the YourCre8tivity site.

Now, instead of waiting around – go find yourself a creative adventure of your own!

Due to the holiday here in the US of A, there won’t be a podcast this week. We’ll return next week with a new show and hopefully much better audio quality!

Have a creative week!

It’s time for a Creative Adventure. This show is a bit different from what you can expect in the future. I apologize upfront for the audio quality – I’m in the process of remedying that particular problem.

In the mean time, here are the links for the sites and podcasts you’ll hear mentioned in the show.

Give Us A Minute

We said that we had some new projects in the works. Well, this is the first one. Welcome to Creative Adventures, the YourCre8tivity podcast!

We hope that this podcast will help inspire and encourage you in all your own creative efforts – especially those that don’t center around writing!

Expect an episode every week or so – though things may take a little longer for the first few! For those of you that commute, Creative Adventures should run no more than 15 minutes.

I’m not going to put up show notes for this episode, because it’s the introduction episode, but please feel free to leave comments here or via email at podcast(AT)yourcre8tivity(DOT)com.

We should have some better equipment soon – and I promise I’ll work on speaking more clearly in the future!

Oh, if you’re wondering who to blame for this project – there are quite a few people out on the internet – but the two most responsible are Tee Morris and Mur Lafferty – so go visit their sites and listen to their many podcasts!
