Transcript for Episode #049: 3 Ways to Build and Nurture Ideas

Amy Climer: Welcome to The Deliberate Creative podcast Episode 49. How are you all doing? I hope you are having a wonderful, creative week. Today, I am going to talk about three ways to build and nurture ideas. First, I want to share with you two exciting things. This episode is going live on May 12th, and on May 12th I am defending my doctoral dissertation, which I am so excited for. For those of you who do not know, the defense of a doctoral dissertation is the very end of a PhD.
At least in my school, the way it works is that when you defend, it is about a 40 minute process and there is some Q&A and then your committee gets together — in our case, out in the hallway — they literally go out in the hallway, they talk about you for a few minutes and they come back in and they announce that you are now a doctor. So that is what is happening for me on Thursday, probably either while you are listening to this or probably maybe it already would have happened by the time you listen to this, so I am really excited about that. My dissertation is called The Development of the Creative Synergy Scale. I am going to go into depth and share that research with you on Episode 50, the next episode so stay tuned for that next week.
The other thing I want to share with you is a new review. This review came in on iTunes. It is from T. Nicolleta and it is titled Patient and Insightful, five stars. T. Nicolleta says, “The few episodes I’ve listened to have been great. I appreciate Amy’s calmness and ability to convey a sense of patience as she guides you through the beautiful world of creativity. Thanks for pouring your heart into this.” Thank you so much for the review. I really appreciate it.
If you would love to leave a review, please go over to iTunes and share your thoughts. Let me know what you think. Give an honest, insightful review. That would be awesome.
