There are many points in an artistic timeline when you might need a creative reset. I’m currently in the threshold between one creative project and the next and in this episode I talk about:- Resting and recharging without letting go of the habits and routines built by writing to a deadline.- When moving from one project to the next feels like departing from a piece of yourself.- Not letting life fill up the space I usually guard for writing.- Taking an intentional pause between work. As writers we use space and silence in our text because an absence of dialogue allows the subtext to be felt. I hope this same absence of a project can allow my own deeper themes of where I'm at now rise to the surface and inform what I'm inspired and moved by at this point in time.- SUMMER PROJECTS: ‘The Artist's Way' by Julia Cameron. I'll be making my way through the twelve-weeks of creative prompts in this book over summer. If you want to join me in using this as a creative reset, please do.Thank you so much for listening.
