The Thriving Creative


Aug 15, 2019

Today I am excited to welcome a long time friend to the podcast who also happens to be a creative I respect very much- David Khalaf. David is an author of a fantasy adventure series “The Burdens Adventure Series” as well as “Modern Kinship” which he co-wrote with his husband. He is also a guy who is just like the rest of us who often battles a strong fear of rejection. Yet over the years, his passion for writing has given him the courage to continue to throw his writing out into the abyss and see what sticks. And for him, sometimes it sticks in a column with the New York Times. Other times, the outcome is a dusty untouched manuscript for a novel he may never publish.

Today David talks to us about how he protects his time in order to be consistent about his creativity. He doesn’t experience moments of creative breakthrough and inspiration every day, but with daily rhythms in place, he is able to access that place quicker and with ease. It’s a muscle he has developed and he uses it for good!
