From today’s Doodlecam. I was noticing how doodling live on camera used to make me so nervous—heck, how making a MARK used to scare me all by itself, bring the gremlins out in force! Even in the privacy of a sketchbook nobody else would see!
But if you do anything enough it becomes normal.
I’ve been doing these doodles enough that they done scare me anymore. And I’ve been doing them live on the Doodlecam enough that THAT doesn’t scare me anymore! Didn’t even take that long to become the new normal.
So what’s scaring YOU? What do you need to start doing today so you can not be so scared of it tomorrow?

LCN 112: Lisa Manterfield’s Novel that Wouldn’t Let Go

Reminder: Listeners Wanted!
Before I dive into today’s episode, I have a special announcement.
Has the Live Creative Now podcast made a difference in your life? Would you like to be featured on the podcast?
I want to start sharing listener stories, so if you have a story of how listening to the podcast has changed your life for the better in some way — big or small — I want to feature you in a Listener Spotlight.
Here’s how it works:
1. Just log into iTunes and leave a rating and review. (If you don’t know how to do that, you’ll find step-by-step instructions at livecreativenow.com/itunes-review).
2. Then copy and paste what you wrote in your review into an email, and send it to me, along with why you want to be featured in a Listener Spotlight. You can email me at livecreativenow.com/contact.
That’s it!
If I pick you for a Listener Spotlight, we’ll have a relaxed, fun conversation, and the recording of our conversation will be part of a future episode! How cool is that?
Now on with this week’s episode.
Lisa Manterfield loves to tell stories. She’s fascinated by human behavior and what makes people tick. She especially loves “fish-out-of-water stories of ordinary people in extraordinary situations, especially if those situations delve into the unexplained,” as it says on her website.
I wanted to have Lisa on the podcast, because the storytelling in her most recent novel, A Strange Companion, rocked my world.
And yet this book almost never saw the light of day.
“I couldn’t make it the book I wanted it to be,” she told me. “But it was the idea that wouldn’t let me go, so I kept coming back to it.”
For ten years.
That’s dedication.
And that’s one of the things we touched on in our conversation: how do you know when to give up on a creative idea, and when to let it go?
