Writing Life: On melancholy 🌊

article image placeholderCharlotte McConaghy: The Last Migration author on melancholy and writing during a pandemic
Hey, everyone, I hope that you've been having a really beautiful and creatively fulfilling weekend. I did get to spend some time working on a project and doing some visual work that I found really just relaxing and fun. And so I'm writing up the weekend in high spirits. As far as creativity and writing goes, I wanted to share something that I read this week that I thought was useful

How do you ride the 🌊? https://s.swell.life/SSFscYAEIQO3DVd

Also here is the link for Bookish podcast interview with the author mentioned in the article I just posted. And if you haven't checked out Bookish podcast, webcast yet or her podcast you are missing out. I highly recommend it

@rachel Thank you so much for the shout out πŸ’•

For all your writers out there. Whether you're melancholy or happy or not, I just hope you just keep doing it because stay consistent. Because I believe grit and consistency is ultimately what will get you to your destination. All right, have a good one, and it's getting late. So good night, everyone. I'll catch you all later. Bye

I'm also very particular about what kind of cannabis I do. And so in that space, it's really interesting. I'm able to kind of disassociate those emotions and then just move through them and then eventually I'll go outside and play some flute or take a walk. These days, I'm not allowed to hug, but love to hug people and hug my way out of any lingering emotions. That might be heavy

thank you ✨

And even though I know this because I've been through this process a lot of times now to know it, I sometimes still judge it and question if I'm not where I should be and I'm doing something wrong or all these things that I know everyone else struggles with sometimes too
