Most of the time,for me, the story comes in the space when I am not writing, but rather just percolating, waiting for the perfect moment when my writing is ready to arrive and be seen. So wait and trust that it will be there. And it’s never let me down. But I don’t give it expectations or parameters. It doesn’t like those. And honestly the timelines i put on myself are the most challenging as it feeds into my perfectionism, which is the opposite of what I want to feel. Because creation is truly feminine , which means not pushing but rather surrender, allow…flow. Which may mean writing less, but creating more writing that fulfills you and makes you happy. Happy allowing, Lisa!💕
Thank you, Jill. I appreciate how you've worded it here. Creating the space that allows ideas to flow and words to come, freely. Thank you for sharing that perspective!
You’re welcome, Lisa. I believe you are already embodying it, based on your articles that you produce that resonate with all of us! Just need to feel it now.🦋
Thank you for naming this so honestly, Lisa 🩷 It gives the rest of us permission to breathe and trust that our words will come when they’re ready. I had to step away from Substackfor a couple of months over the summer, and there were weeks this past year where I couldn’t write a single word — so I opened my dashboard and wrote exactly that. Sometimes we just need that pause to settle before we can return.
Thank you for that support, Dana. You've just confirmed for me that my guilt is misplaced. It's also helpful to know that it isn't just me. I appreciate your kind words. Thank you for being here with me!
Love this, Lisa. It’s so relatable. I’m glad you’re letting yourself be and do whatever feels right for you, sporadic or otherwise. Doing what’s best for you is always a wise choice. 🩷
