This is so interesting & if I can borrow the ebb and flow of your week and lay it over the month of January, I’m definitely in Wednesday / Thursday territory 😅 I’m in awe of your drive and your ability to juggle it all. Take care of you & thanks for reminding me through your own writing endeavours that there is an ebb and flow to this writing life.
The recycling bin skittering past and waving for help made me chortle out loud. I do hope the weekend has replenished you. Your class on Wednesday night was excellent, you are an exceptional doer of all the things. Solidarity, from this fellow plate spinner over here x
Thanks so much for sharing about your week Lindsay, it’s fascinating to understand the ebbs and flows of a writers retreat week in which you still have to wear all your usual hats. It’s inspiring and motivating for those of us wondering how we can keep an active writing practice amongst the chaos!
I resonate with what you say about having to do all the chores and the deep work at the same time. You can’t just switch. I find that with my readings. Great newsletter thank you. I especially enjoyed the part where the bin waves for help.

Yes, you can absolutely do that, Harriet. Let’s expand it out and say it can also apply to a year, the life of a creative project… xx

That's exactly what we're doing, Donna. Keeping them from breaking, somehow! Xx

Thanks, Ingrid. I was thinking about our call and how universal the experience I described actually is, retreat or no retreat. X

I can imagine that so clearly with your readings, Claire. The need to get into a calm, receptive headspace before you can even begin!
