APRIL: Recalibrate 🍄

a tree meditation, a thought experiment on doing "nothing", and the woes of being a writer 💭

Hello, dear friend! For those who are new: this is the April installment of my new moon offering, which you can learn more about here. If you enjoy my writing but aren’t able to commit to a paid subscription at this time, please stick around! There is a free newsletter coming your way later this month, and subscribing—at any level—is an incredible way to support my livelihood as a working artist. Thank you for being here 💫

I have a colossal amount of respect for anyone who has published a book. It is a dizzying amount of work. And it’s not just the emails, the logistics, the marketing—but even more arduous is the work of putting your heart & soul on display, in their most vulnerable embodiments, for the world to devour. I don’t know that many writers actively choose this. In fact, many writers I’ve spoken to say that they don’t choose to write—we simply must, as if handed an unignorable assignment from God herself.
