life & writing
The world is tough right now, and still we write. Something I’ve been working on a lot lately in my life as a writer (and every area of my life) is creating systems to balance productivity and energy. This has been a journey of figuring out how to stay consistent with my goals while also honoring my values alongside a need for rest and replenishment.
"I think we kind of fetishize the creative life. We have the vision of what it means to be an author, where you sit in your garret or looking out at your view and you give everything to your art and you commit fully to it. But the reality is that most of us have bills to pay." - Leigh Bardugo
