Here at Gifted Underachievers we were delighted to have special guest Miriam Ruff on the show. Miriam walked us through (and demonstrated) how to brew the perfect cup of tea—in this case, Scottish Breakfast Tea—while we discussed her life as a full-time wordsmith, including:
How Miriam learned to say yes to the right things
How you can know what the right things are
Writing and publishing a book as a way to ‘pay it forward’
How paid and personal creative work are different versions of the same thing
Being a shameless marketer
What grocery-store tea is actually made of
How to start a novel by getting what you need into your wheelhouse first
How to work around a chronic health condition by finding creative ways for everyone to get what they want
The value of re-evaluating
And much, much more. After this invigorating conversation we were inspired on many fronts. One of these was to drink better tea, drink it more often, and evaluate how the right cuppa can meet our needs all through the day.
p.s. You might be surprised at how many days of annual leave Miriam takes!
