This resonated with me Jenna because like you, I have lots of ideas, drafts and what-ifs that my head would spin if I thought too much about it. I have been working hard to get a rhythm to my publishing so that I don't see every piece as publication material. I have set out a schedule that at the moment I have kept to. It has meant that I have some in the wings that I can pop in if I have been too busy to write. It has been hard because as soon as a piece is finished I want to share it but seeing a schedule with dates has really helped.
Thank you so much Julia! I really love the idea of creating a schedule and having some pieces ready to go. I managed something similar last year and it was nice to take the pressure off a little. I’m hoping with a little more time, I can try and do the same again this year.
It's definitely a sign to slow down, appreciate the summer months with our gorgeous Raya (as you will never have this time back again with her like you've got now) and save your creative ideas for later months - it will definitely come back when you are ready - very proud of you xxxx
Thanks for your honesty Jenna. I have loads of poems to publish but these last few months I’ve been feeling I need to edit much more this year than I ever have. I think our own journeys of writing can steer us when we lean into those rhythms of rest and breaks away ✨✍️✨
I love reading your posts, perhaps because I value your honesty about the creative process 🙏🌿
Thank you! That really means so much ✨

Thank you for reading Beverley 💌 Yes, I think you’re right! Our own creativity tells us more than we think, and listen we must ✨
