Thoroughly enjoyed reading this. So many notables and quotables, but the bit that particularly stuck out for me was how your non-writing activities can be poured back into your writing.
I am (currently, because things can always change!) a full-time writer-director, but before then jumped around from job to job and it is entirely unsurprising how much those odd jobs unintentionally served as inspiration to some of the stories I've gone on to create. Some of those jobs are nearing a decade since I last did them, yet they remain the gift that keeps giving.
As a whole, you have to live to write; that's where the stories come from.
Thank you for this piece! Shared with many writer and artist/creative friends.
This was so fun and comforting to read. I often get lulled into the trap that my writing has to be monetized/turned into a product, and since it hasn't yet then that must mean it isn't 'good'. I keep reminding myself though I do this because I enjoy it, and the creativity fills me up!
Thank you for this delightful essay! I thoroughly enjoyed this post.
I feel so inspired by this!

This was a wonderful essay as someone who moonlights as both a Doctor and writer - perfectly encapsulated all the thoughts I had on this topic ✨
❤️❤️❤️
was so rich to read!!! bookmarked to reread later since there’s lots of points to mull over
