Pep Talk 14: Ayanna Gaines on making space for creativity

These short pep talks are designed to give you a little boost of motivation or inspiration and help you along with your day and your project. This pep talk is part of a series of talks designed to help you through the winter holidays or other busy season. As margin-writers, fitting in our creative work around the demands of day jobs and caring responsibilities, it can be hard to make the time and energy to commit. In our conversation with librarian and poet Ayanna Gaines in episode 9 , she shares how she manages to stay in touch with her creative side, even when things are busy. Her tips are equally useful whether you're trying to carve out time at work, or in the middle of a busy family gathering.

Om Podcasten

For writers and creatives with day jobs they enjoy. Marginally is about supporting and encouraging people for whom writing – and all forms of creative pursuit – is part of a full life, not the only life. We’re not trying to have it all, but we do have a lot to do. We have day jobs, caring responsibilities, and other life commitments that are important to us. Maybe we don’t aspire to write full time. Maybe we do. Maybe we are on a longer journey to that destination, and we’d like you to join us.
