I want to blog at a weekly pace for the next 3 months starting March 2024. *Update: FAILURE!*
I frequently observe “Letters from Love” by Elizabeth Gilbert. In this series she writes a letter from love to herself every week. She then shares a video of herself reading the letter. The dedication to the practice means that every week I receive a letter about the heart. I might not always agree with her, but I feel touched that she continues to arrive at my inbox. It feels generous. In practical terms, it allows me to see how a writer maintains a creative practice. She has written several books, and writing is literally her job. So maybe she’s generating income. I think it’s more than that. I believe that the creative practice benefits from nurturing. Every. single. week. That’s not for chumps. I want to try it.
I’ll setup a calendar reminder for myself with a Saturday deadline. I will plan to post by Monday. After one month, I will cross post it on Linked in. Then after two months, I will look into Substack where I could dual post.
Here’s to trying out a new habit.
