“Think of your creative process as the cycle of submerging into yourself to find what you really want to say through your creative work and emerging to share that message with the world.”

This comes from Chelsey Pippin Mizzi’s in her fabulous book, Tarot for Creativity, which i highly recommend.

tortured about the publishing industry, yes. but writing never tortures me. it’s my therapy, my happy place, my secret garden.

to myself & other writers, a reminder that maybes, almosts, and other unfulfilled yeses may sting.. but they are a sign that you should keep going, and your yes is just around the corner. 💚

i think if you focus on honing in on your "voice" in writing, you can write any genre, any topic, and the readers who love YOU will love IT because it sounds like you. your voice is your creative fingerprint <3 #writing

Manifesting your wildest dreams is not waving a magic wand & sitting on your hands. It’s putting in the hard work, every day, believing a positive outcome will bloom out of all the seeds you are planting. Have you ever combined meditation, visualization, or manifestation with your writing process?

one way i honor my daughter is by having goals and working toward them consistently. My mother turned off her dreams (because society & patriarchy) and then resented us for it.

it's better to write for ten minutes a day than to neglect your work and purpose for ten years because you thought you needed a cool 2 hours and a clean house to write.
