Breaking Creative Barriers with Outrageous Ideas

What makes a story both unforgettable and transformative? In this episode of Your Creative Mind, I sit down with author and playwright Susan Sloate, whose work spans novels, musicals, and autobiographical love stories. Susan shares why she believes happy endings carry lasting value, how outrageous creative choices often lead to the strongest storytelling, and what writing across different forms has taught her about character and structure. You’ll hear practical strategies to turn roadblocks into breakthroughs, insights on weaving life experiences into art, and how to rekindle joy in your creative routine. If you’re searching for long-lasting writing inspiration, actionable tools, and a fresh perspective on building confidence through storytelling, Susan’s wisdom will give you both guidance and motivation.
