  • S3: Ep 76: Trusting Your Creative Voice - with Amber Byers
    2024/12/09

    Have you ever had that gut feeling that it's time to make a change but struggled to trust your intuition? Or wondered what it would take to pursue that creative dream you've had since childhood?

    You’ll definitely want to listen to this episode with my guest, Amber Byers.

    Amber is the head judge of the Tadpole Press 100-Word Writing Contest, an international writing contest celebrating creativity and community. She blogs regularly at Living a Life Imagined, which is dedicated to positivity and authenticity. Amber’s published works include The Magic Door Origin Story, a sci-fi story inspired by her childhood, and Sophie and Spot, which won a Gold Medal from Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards.

    During this inspiring conversation, we explore:

    • Amber's transition from law to writing after realising her true passion lay in creativity rather than legal work
    • How to trust your gut instincts when making creative decisions and distinguish between fear and genuine intuition
    • The importance of allowing yourself to be playful and imperfect in first drafts, free from external expectations
    • Why finding the right writing community is crucial for growth and how to handle negative criticism constructively
    • Amber's role as a diversity editor specialising in Native American representation in literature
    • Why maintaining creative space and reconnecting with your authentic voice matters more than achieving perfection

    I thoroughly enjoyed having this conversation with Amber; it offers such valuable insights for anyone looking to embrace their creative calling, build confidence in their writing, and find joy in the creative process.

    I hope you enjoy listening.
