In Episode #7 we talked about the hardest part of any creative endeavor: getting started. Stephanie has been dreading a project for weeks but finally took the plunge and got started last night. SPOILER ALERT: it wasn't nearly as bad as she thought it would be. We also talked about how Mark is writing a new show and struggling to think his ideas are as good as anyone else's. Every artist struggles with this, but it's the ones who have the confidence to be bad that end up succeeding in the long run. www.StarvingArtistsBlog.com Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/SArtsBlog Thanks for listening!

Stephanie and Mark reveal the true secret to unlimited success. Then they go on to talk about how to find work when you're just starting out and tips on utilizing social media effectively.

We sat down this week to discuss how we've become better collaborators over time. It was a challenge getting our personalities to match but it's been worth it. Also, we mention a fun survey you can take to see what kind of personality type you have. While you should obviously take the survey results with a grain of salt, we thought we'd include it here for the sake of completeness: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp Finally, we talk about why you should never work for free. It's important to value your work and insist that other people do, too.
