🎃 This week on Honestly, Dear Listener, we're getting scary. REAL scary. 🎃
We discuss what scares us most about the entire creative process and how we're actually more scared of success than of failure. We dive into the fears and insecurities that plague us and other artists, the daunting process of starting new personal projects, not resting on our laurels, and the long road to creative success.
Carrie also reads her creepy new short story, "The Inheritance."
Happy Halloween, Dear Listener!
