I’d Like My Crayons Back

“Everyone is born creative; everyone is given a box of crayons in kindergarten. Then when you hit puberty, they take the crayons away… I’d like my crayons back, please.”

Hugh MacLeod – Ignore Everybody: and 39 Other Keys to Creativity

Last year (and after being a guest on several video podcasts myself), I decided I wanted to start a video podcast of my own. I’d already done a regular podcast (audio only) for a little while, but a face-to-face conversation seemed so much better. I wanted a podcast, I decided, to celebrate creativity in all its forms.

Video Podcast – Meet the Author

Wow, I just realized how long it’s been since I’ve blogged on this site. I have been busy, but that’s no excuse for the last blog to have been related to Christmas but from October. That’s…ridiculous. However, I’ve had long periods without content before, although I vowed last year in January not to let that happen again. This is why New Year’s Resolutions hold no allure for me. I just CAN’T keep them.

Anyway, I am excited to share this video podcast from my interview as a guest on Meet the Author, so I figured I’d post it here. I don’t know if you can tell how nervous I was (I was actually shaking at one point–of course, that could be due to the temperature in that room, which is a long story I need not go into right now). Also, not liking to see myself in photos or on camera, I didn’t watch it myself for an entire day, but I had to in order to post it, lol. I wanted to make sure I didn’t look like an utter fool, after all. The hosts, Joan and Rob Carter, are wonderful and I’m so glad they had me as their guest.

So, if you’d like to check it out, please do, and I hope you enjoy the interview!
