What You Consume Is What You Create
About this episode
Amie argues that serious artists must also be serious consumers of diverse works to enhance their creativity.
We're recording from a hotel room with questionable acoustics and a very concerned James. Welcome to the Hotel Season! In Episode 1, Amie makes the case that if you want to be a serious artist, you need to be an equally serious consumer, not just of your own genre, but of everything you want to see more of in the world. We get into why consuming great work is more useful than craft content, the stress of reading Robin Hobb when you're trying to write your own novel, how to have a genuinely good scroll on social media, and why the attention you give is the culture you're actually building.
