Last week I talked about boundaries, so that you can get your writing (or editing or marketing) done in a way that works for you.
To refresh your memory or see it for the first time, you can jump to the blog post here.
Today I want to talk about the quiet before, during, and after writing.
Before I write I'm often agitated, an angst without words.
While writing, I reach for the right word and find myself often lacking.
After a writing or editing session, I experience as emptiness and feel I have nothing to say. I've said it all.
I bring up this experience to include it as part of the creative process. We word people don't always have words. And that's okay.
Do you experience this kind of calm? I'm curious. Hit reply and let me know.
In business support news, I have really benefited from being a part of the Heart of Business community. It's been nourishing and healing so that I can focus with clear-heart and clear-sight on helping you and myself.
Have a fabulous week and happy writing!
