I, (host Rebecca Galardo) and Author/Teacher Holly Lisle answer one of the most common questions that creatives ask over and over. It's the fear many of us have: What if I don't have the talent to pursue my dreams? Society tells us that creatives are born not made. Well, we disagree. Holly and I cover the following:
Does talent matter?
Why having none gives you the advantage.
And what you can do if you're starting from scratch with zero skills.
This is a very important topic. As you grow your skills and people begin to look at your work and compare their lower-level stuff to it, you'll hear the same thing: "I just have no talent."
And then you can help a future author out too.
