| 0:08.9 | bringing you interviews, inspiration and information on writing, publishing options and marketing ideas for your book. |
| 0:17.0 | You can find the episode show notes, your free author blueprint and lots more information at |
| 0:23.0 | TheCreativepen.com. And that's Penn with a double N. And here's the show. |
| 0:30.9 | Hello creatives. I'm Joanna Penn. And this is episode number 506 of the podcast. It is Sunday the 6th of September 2020 as I record this. |
| 0:41.2 | And it's definitely autumn has turned here. I've been picking up conkers all week. I put it on Instagram. |

| 1:41.5 | but it's okay. You're allowed to be an artist and also to be |
| 1:45.2 | ambitious. And if you make a lot of money, you can provide for your family, you can give it all |
| 1:49.5 | away to causes you care about if you like. You can change things in society. And I am definitely |
| 1:55.2 | creatively ambitious and also financially ambitious. I have said before I want to be more like Picasso than Van Gogh. |
| 2:03.8 | And not in the way Picasso's love life went. |
| 2:06.9 | He was a bit crazy in the love life department, |
| 2:10.0 | but he was a prolific artist. |
