Listen "02. Co-Creating with Nature's Rhythms: Writing with the Moon"
Episode Synopsis
When it feels like you're pulling the words out of mud, and you're procrastinating, or worse — forcing yourself to find some prose, it could simply mean that the weather's not quite aligned with the writing or editing you're trying to do. Instead, try aligning your writing project with the moon (and/or a menstrual cycle if you have one). No worries if you don't have a menstrual cycle or never did — simply follow the moon. It's a reliable and consistent energy. Writing with nature's rhythms for the past handful of years, I've written and published my second book, drafted and edited a third, sent weekly email newsletters, and blogged consistently. If you're looking for a fun way to write WITH the energy of the day instead of trying to fight it, you'll love today's episode. You'll discover: The fascinating connection between a woman's menstrual cycle, the moon's cycle, and the seasons. How to align your writing and editing activities for more productivity and flow. The best times of the month for writing, editing, and even publishing. Practical ways to start your next writing project TODAY. Writing prompts designed to help you integrate these ideas into your writing process right away — because knowledge without action is just taking up space in your head. Writing with nature's rhythms is a transformative way to connect our creativity with the natural world and co-create with the Divine.
