Recentering my creative practice
I’m trying something a bit different with my notetaking and blogging practice.
Long form posts will continue to be published here under .
Roundup and creative practice style posts (formerly Down the Rabbit Hole) will now be published directly on my website. I’m experimenting with cross posting those to a second Substack publication. If there’s enough interest I’ll keep doing that.
Substack seems to really value long form content, but these round up / scrapbook / commonplace book type posts are really intrinsic to my own self reflection and creative process.
So I’m writing these for me, but eclectic weirdos are welcome to come along.
Here’s a taste of what that might look like.
You’ll have to subscribe to to get these by email in the future. (Or pop them into an RSS reader if you’re old school.)
An Experiment. Week 1.
This experiment is a forward facing commonplace book.
I’m reading How We Might Live by Suzanne Cooper which I started on my retreat. It’s a biography of William & Jane Morris exploring how Jane was entwined in William’s creative process. Right now I’m fascinated by the clues that they were both neurodivergent.
Recentering. Week 2.
I’m attempting to recenter my creative practice.
If this feels cyclical that’s because it is.
My creative orbit spiralling closer and closer to something that’s right for me.
When throwing pottery on the wheel you have to center it first.
I’m going to keep this separate for a while and see how it feels.
I reserve the right for future pivots, but right now giving this project a bit of space feels like the right thing to do.
What have you been making or experimenting with?
Tell me about it or drop a link below.
Cheers,
