Show Notes

Episode 808 - Dani Vee, Ingrid Laguna and Dan Thomas - Children’s books, writing, feedback and the challenges of being in a creative relationship

Dear lovely listeners,

In episode 808 I chat to (newlyweds) Ingrid Laguna and Dan Thomas about their new releases My Brother Otto published by Text Publishing and Bedtime, No More Buts published by Scholastic.

We chat about: ⭐️ the light and dark and why it’s important for kids to experience both. ⭐️ how to write about real life experiences ⭐️ feedback and rejection

We take a deep dive into what it’s like being in a relationship with another creative and discuss: 💋 Being emotionally ready for feedback 💋 Creating spaces to write 💋 How to best support each other 💋 Being cheerleaders of each other’s work 💋 Creating boundaries about giving and receiving feedback 💋 The challenges of social media

Secrets are vulnerabilities are revealed.

Thanks for listening Dani 💋
