Steven Fales and I have been talking forever about chatting on the podcast, and we finally got around to it this week. A well established playwright and solo performer, I met Steven when I was just on the verge of summoning the courage to start creating my own solo work. Discovering his successful Mormon Boy Trilogy and passion for creating and performing was a real point of inspiration for me. I was so pleased to talk with him here about his work, his process of creating it, and the joys and challenges of being a solo artist. I hope you enjoy our conversation!

I’ve tried doing Morning Pages and other daily exercises but I always fall off after a couple weeks. It just starts to feel more like a chore than a positive creative/spiritual endeavor. I hope you have better luck with whatever daily practice you attempt!

I was religious about my morning pages when I first did The Artist’s Way, but I have never gotten back to doing that. I dream of a daily routine where I create for a set amount of time each day….. like actual work. I hear you about it becoming a chore, I wanna find *something* though!
