Sarah and Lindsay, thanks for this lovely post. I’ve already signed up for Essay Camp, I’m committed to the first five days and I’ll see beyond that. I’ve been feeling the itch to carve out (and protect!) writing time for myself, and this accountability seemed like a helpful (gentle) shove! Love to you fellow Scottish mamas with your gentle, nourishing invitations and words x
Hi Debbie, I am so glad to hear that you've been inspired to do this already, and hope that our words have only consolidated your intentions! Can't wait to write along with you. X
Yes, I think gentle is the way. I’m surprised by the brainpower I have this week...full moon, perhaps? 🌝 ...still, I’m being intentional about where I spend my energy so I don’t run out of steam. Seems you’re doing the same!
Together with Lindsay’s writing tips I think it’ll be a lovely month of writing! Really looking forward to the whole experience and dusting off my wee project 🥰💛
Hi Alicia, thank you so much for sharing that. I completely agree that writing is soothing for our nervous systems, and explore the power particular forms of personal writing can have on our physical as well as mental health in my courses. Looking forward to writing along with you this month!
Writing really is a tonic. I’ve found so much healing in the process, but it’s been difficult to bring myself back to the page lately. Looking forward to supporting each other through November 💛
