We talked with screenwriter Charlotte Winters about why we shouldn't quit our day jobs but embrace them instead. Charlotte reads from Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear by Elizabeth Gilbert to inspire us to not force our creativity to make us a living. By placing our creativity in it's proper place, we create with more freedom and joy.

Charlotte is an award-winning screenwriter with an MFA from UCLA who associate produced a show on behalf of The History Channel, lectured at UCLA, and freelanced at WB and FX.
