Producing creative work while holding down a day job Ep 1287

I’m taking a little hiatus during the month of August, but I didn’t want to leave you with nothing new to listen to. So my editor and I have pulled some highlights from some our most-loved conversations that we know you'll enjoy.
Something I ask everyone is: How do you make money??
Not because I'm a tacky person (although maybe I am, a little) but because one of the biggest things that stops people from pursuing writing more seriously is the fear that they'll never make money.
This week, we’re revisiting interviews with writers who also have day jobs. Their insights on how they make their finances work and how they balance their jobs and their writing are equal parts practical and inspiring. Like they say, where there’s a will, there’s a way.
In this compilation episode, you'll hear about the realities of holding down a day job while also building a career as a writer from Amy Shearn, Nancy Johnson, John Glynn, Dolen Perkins-Valdez, Beth Macy, and Jenna Blum.
