Well I appreciate these posts, as I didn't watch Velma and am so late to the Last of Us train that I have to actively avoid media to avoid spoilers. So I get to comment and read your words! Yeah!
It is a challenge, trying to keep an active substack and also write another "thing" big or small. I am in two different writing groups and am expected to share pages every 6 weeks and I can't repurpose my earworm essays as they are all readers! It's been a struggle. I can't imagine also trying to write a novel. And I don't have kids, am not planning a dogmitzvah, and work less than full time. Can't imagine how you do it! But accountability groups certainly help.
Have you figured out what TV show you will recap when Last of Us is over? Season 2 of Yellowjackets? Daisy and the Six is starting next week. I read that book and am intrigued by that one. Anyway - I'll try and keep up this time....
Thanks Steve. It's hard to keep content fresh and new and be inspired all the time. I find my moments of inspiration come either when I jog (outside only) or drive home from taking kids to school. So I try and capitalize on this effect and have one pick up or drop off of them a day and while New England isn't always conducive to outdoor running, I try to be outside when the weather allows for it. I haven't read "Daisy and the Six" but wondering if I should read ahead of watch? I'm really looking forward. Also want to see "Perry Mason" season 2. Really enjoyed first season on HBO Max and as a devotee of the franchise with Raymond Burr, it's a must. I love "Yellowjackets" so definitely will be tuning in provided we don't cut the cord ahead of that which is on our list as well. Perhaps writing about our decision to cut the cord is a good one too!
Bravo for pivoting into something that is more suited to your current creative needs right now! Substack is a good place to figure out those rhythms and inspirations.
