Creative Banter114 - A Change in ProcessAs Ben and I discuss our recent fall trips, we find ourselves settling into new routines, leading to revelations regarding how to proceed through not only the rest of this year but, also, 2025. We talk about how our bodies and minds are affected by long car rides (even if we don’t recognize the correlation), and how this ultimately affects our creativity and wellbeing. Along these same lines, we speak on the importance of sustainable processes in our creative lives.
