Rough Draft November week 2 is here, but no matter how well (or not well) your novel is going, don’t forget to have fun! More fun feeds our creativity and makes better art.
Every year I choose books to read during the season of Advent. Usually theyโre meditations or reflections based on the season.ย But this year, due to my deadlines and crazy schedule, I’m only reading and studying one book: The Reed of God by Caryll Houselander.
Today is the feast of St. Brigid, a wonderful example of a woman courage and determination who defied the kings and laws of her day.
We’re headed to the mountains for our first college game of the season and I’m feeding all the college kids Pork Sliders.
It’s not easy, but writers and creatives can transition from the freedom of summer to fall deadlines with intention, avoiding hustle culture while embracing mindful, sustainable productivity.
Rough Draft April ends today. But regardless if you hit your goal, all that matters is that you spent even the smallest amount of time with your stories. All that matters is that, as a writer, you know you’re not alone!
