In today’s episode, I’m talking with Karalee Clerk, a woman you did all the conventional things in life, got married, had kids, and a career. Then divorced. And then she ran away from home to become a writer, and it’s because of that chutzpah that I just had to interview her, because who among us don’t secretly wish – at least some of the time – that we could just up stakes and run away with the circus, right?

Today's episode is the Facebook live broadcast for Fuel Fridays in my FB group. To join our writers' group, go to bit.ly/oycgroup.
One of my sources for creative inspiration are the magazines, Harper's and The New Yorker. They inspire me to create but they also fill up my creativity tank. I get ideas for my writing but also see things in a new way. I see potential in the crazy connections I make in my head because I see how other writers follow down those leads and create wonderful, inspiring pieces out of them, and one of my favourite non-fiction writers is Rebecca Solnit.
Listen to the full episode now.

Apprenticeship –
I did an informal poll on Facebook asking what apprenticeship when it comes to being a writer meant to people. The answers were what I expected:
- warnings to stay away because it’s unpaid work
- or just neutral comments that it was unpaid work
As you know, my weekly Wealth Wednesdays (my Facebook live sessions) are dedicated to exploring our money mindset as writers, and the springboard for these conversations is the book Real Artists Don’t Starve by Jeff Goins.
In Chapter 3, Jeff talks about this very topic. Apprenticeship and the role it plays in people who want to become thriving not starving artists.
In today's episode I explore the question of apprenticeships for writers - good or bad?
