DECENTRING NEWNESS
(Aka my promised Love letter to Deconstruction).
I wasn’t expecting to write a treatise on this, but it all flowed out of me yesterday! And if I may say, it’s the most writerly-thing I’ve written in a long time (with the exception of my YA fiction novel dabblings 😆).
Clearly, I have a LOT to say on the matter of creative seasons and honouring/celebrating the deconstruction process of our art - whatever your ‘art’ may be.
Some key points covered:
* The Netflix Phenomenon * Creativity loves the dopamine hit too * The promise of the Holy Grail * When the end feels like failure * Deconstruction matters - and I want to see more of it * Celebration Trauma * Autumn is f**kimg beautiful * Cycles in parallel * You are not AI, and that is priceless * Track your cycles Find your authentic joy (it can be ridiculously simple) * Celebrate with me!
All over on my substack now!
