Episode 6: Author / Illustrator / Supermom Lori Richmond
IN THIS EPISODE
Lori Richmond, author/illustrator of Pax and Blue and Bunny's Staycation talks about:
her process for writing and illustrating picture books
children are a treasure trove of ideas
her transition from a 20-year corporate job to being self-employed
one word- BABYSITTER
interruptions cause stress and resentment, which is not fair to the kids and leads to poor quality work
separating family life and work life is better for her creative process and her sanity
BUT involve the kids when possible
take a walk- shift your perspective from it being "wasted time" to "wandering time"
Some non-writing, but super fun subjects that we talk about:
the pros and cons of Amazon's Alexa! (Abby is pro, Lori is con!)
Lori's Instagram project
how she connected running and art, her parallels between running and creating
