Ahoy, creatives. How’s it flowin’?

We’re a whole month into our hibernating journey and I hope you are floating happily in a zero-gravity liminal space of not needing to do anything at all except letting your creativity wander wheresoever it fucking pleases.

I also hope you’re finding a sense of purpose and clarity and forward movement, even as we stay still for a moment. Because the aim of all this is to help us get a better sense of where we go from here, and re-connect with the creative instincts we need to get there.

  • In Week 1, we took a moment to stop, drop ‘n’ roll with a much-needed creative pause.

  • In Week 2, we indulged our daydreaming instincts and immersed ourselves in writing inspiration.

  • In Week 3, we took pride in our work so far, and gave our WIPs a little positive-reinforcement.

This week, we’re going to get a little… tantric with our writing. We’re going to keep going slow, but use everything we’ve worked on so far to build even more excitement for our stories — an unscratchable itch of anticipation to tease and tantalise our creative, um, urges — until we just can’t wait to get going again.

It’s ‘bout to get steamy in here. You ready? Let’s go.
