001: Creative Idleness

November 19, 2015 By Arminda

Creative Idleness

The All Arminda Virtual Show, episode 1

Welcome to the All Arminda Virtual Show, first episode EVER!

During this episode, Arminda shares a passage from Brenda Ueland’s notable book, If You Want to Write, in which Brenda Ueland and Leo Tolstoy have a few things to say about how drinking, smoking, coffee and drugs dull creativity!

Listen to hear what Leo Tolstoy had to say about his own use of alcohol and cigarettes in his writing process and how that changed over time for him in his own evolution as an author.

What does any of this have to do with you and YOUR creativity? Maybe a lot.

loving you,
arminda
