Welcome to the Creative Confidence clinic. My name is Daisy Buchanan. I’m a novelist, a non-fiction author, a podcaster, a journalist and a ghostwriter. I’m also deeply passionate about promoting creativity. I want to help people who want to make things, but sometimes struggle, get stuck, and get in their own way. It takes one to know one! I’ve struggled with my own creative confidence, and I know it’s vital to feel good about the work we’re making.
Would you like more creative confidence?
Do you dream of writing the novel, the poem, the screenplay, but find that imposter syndrome gets in the way? Are you a successful creative who doesn’t understand why you sometimes feel scared, or stuck? You know deep down, how to do it - but you need someone to show you that you can do it! I’m going to be cheering you on.
This is everything I know about confidence
As the host of the You’re Booked podcast, I get to pick the brightest creative brains on the planet. I was shocked to discover that everyone I interview struggles just as much as me. We all feel the fear. Being creative requires so much vulnerability and courage, and I wanted to create a space where people can acknowledge that, and work with it - in order to stay in touch with ourselves and make work that we’re proud of.
You’ll get weekly newsletters where I’ll be exploring how to navigate the emotional and practical challenges of creative work. If you’re able to support the newsletter and become a paid subscriber, you’ll also be getting intimate content and conversations from me and my most creative friends. Videos, audio essays, interviews, workshops and more.
Be part of an inspiring creative community
This is a space for everyone who wants to share their projects, problems, triumphs and happy moments. I can’t wait to hear from you, and learn all about you. What inspires you, what your dreams are, and what you’re working on. And I have so much I can’t wait to tell you about my own writing. I want you to be the first to see my new book covers, to hear about live events where you can come and meet me and other authors, and about the writing classes and creative workshops I’ll be hosting.
