This is the episode to listen to, if you feel trapped in a job and want to hear about creative courage paying off beautifully. Micah's story is one of guts, grit and fantasy fiction. I've been privileged to get a front row seat of his story - he's a great friend and someone that consistently encourages me to do the creative work, I find hard to reach. Micah's experienced a ton of change and challenges - from breaking out of hum-drum 9 to 5, to published author. I like to remind him he's taken on the marathon running of creativity - writing and breathing life into rich and mythic worlds that are vivid and aching to be seen on screen. Both his books took very different time frames to write - Lost Gods was 12 years in the making and Pale Kings done in 5 months. His first novel, Lost Gods, was a Brave New Words finalist, and also nominated for a British Fantasy Award. Since we recorded this episode, Micah left care work and now works full time as a writer and content creator. My observation of Micah's creative courage - it has multiplied - in his own story and for others hearing it too.Lost Gods on AmazonPale Kings on AmazonKeep being courageous,Rachael xwww.calloncourage.com/podcast/micah-yongoWHO'S BEHIND THIS PODCAST?I'd ridden pretty high on the creative career rollercoaster. At times it was exhilarating (and occasionally it was terrifying.) It takes stamina, guts and more than a smattering of resilience. Don’t panic, this isn’t another podcast telling you to hustle harder. I’ve been there and got the burnout badge to prove it.I'm looking to find people who are doing the work they love, but it's been a bumpy ride.Starting over can be wonderful, agony and pants shakingly scary all at the same time. There are others who did it. Who are right in the centre of figuring that out. I'm trying to find the people, I needed to hear, at the time I felt I was free-falling from the loop-di-loop.BUILD A KICKARSE CREATIVE BUSINESSI’m able to make this podcast because I get a small income from some kickarse affiliate products. If you use any of these products with my link I can receive a small percentage back. Which honestly, does help!These are products that I use everyday to make Call On Courage happen.
