Every writer sometimes needs help with motivation. Inspired by Elizabeth Bear's recent article, the Mad Writers discuss ways writers can reward themselves on a job well done. Especially because the lag times for writers tend to be long, in traditional publishing more so. The volcano lair is filled with speculation over how to create suitable rewards for various situations to keep the motivation up.Notable NotesElizabeth Bear: Burnout, creativity, and the tyranny of production schedules Kevin J Anderson: Dictating, Writing, Hiking 750 Words Julia Cameron: The Artist's Way Write or Die Written? Kitten!Recommended Reading Tim's recommendation: Word Puppets by Mary Robinette Kowal Jay's recommendation: Make Art Make Money: Lessons from Jim Henson on Fueling Your Creative Career by Elizabeth Hyde Stevens Nina's recommendation: Velveteen vs. The Multiverse by Seanan McGuire

CT recently had the opportunity to review Make Art Make Money: Lessons from Jim Henson on Fueling Your Creative Career by Elizabeth Hyde Stevens. As a creative type and a fan of Jim Henson's Muppets, the book spoke volumes to him and he had to take the chance to speak with Liz a bit more about this creation. This book is available on Kindle Serial and is highly recommended to anyone with creative passions, fans of Jim Henson, and especially anyone fitting both criteria. The book goes through ten lessons and gives great depth and insight into the mind of Henson and how he was able to live his life of pursuing art and make money at the same time. This discussion with Stevens for this extra helping goes into depth about the book, how she came to decide to write it, and how it can help you.
