The most important step in creativity that I took this year was signing up for Substack last October and making a commitment to myself to write one post a week. It has been wonderful discovering thoughtful, engaging writers, having conversations with them, and receiving feedback on what I am writing, too.
Substack has provided a place in which I can put down in words what I experienced as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Kabul, Afghanistan from 1976-1978. This is something I've wanted to do for years, but it didn't feel right until now.
When that series is done, I have no idea where my writing will go next, but I am really inspired right now by your post and by the post by Jamie Varon that you recommended!
Thanks Clarice! I just finished your series. I loved it! I agree Substack is a great place to be 😄 even though I’ve been using it for a few years I only recently started engaging with it more.
As someone who also recently started getting back in touch with her creative side, this post really resonates! I love the idea of scheduling your writing time and honoring it even when it’s hard. Going to try that!
I didn't know you didn't see yourself as creative. You have always been creative to me.
Thanks peach :) You're one of my biggest fans :) :)
