🎙 INTERVIEW [FREE]: Daily Rituals: Building a Creative Life with Mason Currey

​** This is a LIVE interview with Mason Currey about the craft of writing and reality of building a writing career. Attendees will be sent a recording after the interview. **

​What can we learn from the daily lives of great artists? How can routine, discipline, and even procrastination help us build a more sustainable creative life?

​In 2007, while procrastinating on a magazine deadline, Mason Currey launched Daily Routines, a blog that catalogued the habits of artists, writers, and thinkers across time. The site went viral, and what began as a side project became a lifelong inquiry into the creative process. His bestselling books Daily Rituals: How Artists Work and Daily Rituals: Women at Work have since inspired thousands of writers and creators to rethink how they use their time—and what it really means to make art every day.

​Join us for a conversation with Mason about the patterns, pitfalls, and quiet disciplines that shape a creative life. We’ll explore what he’s learned from studying more than 300 artists and how we might apply those lessons to our own daily work.

​We’ll also explore:

• ​How to understand and honour your own creative cycles

• ​Why it can be powerful to think smaller—and start where you are

• ​The role of routine in overcoming procrastination and self-doubt

• ​How Mason has navigated writer’s block and creative inconsistency

• ​What great artists can teach us about persistence, patience, and play

• ​Insights from his forthcoming book Making Art and Making a Living
