CEFJ #79 The Chill Before the Storm (8/6/18)

Short podcast today, y’all!

Grad school’s starting up again in 2 weeks, but I am committed to staying as unbothered as possible. Keywords being: AS POSSIBLE. Lol. Strangely, though, the inevitable beginning of the school year has encouraged me to slow my life down even MORE and enjoy the calm, the chill before the grad school storm.

As a result, I can slowly feel myself shifting back to my philosophy of deep focus (sort of automatically), and I also feel myself staying FIRMLY in the realm of self-care. So tune in to hear more!

CEFJ #78 Cleansing My Creative Palette & Falling Back in Love with My Creative Life (7/30/18)

So last time I came to you guys, I was at a loss. I felt as though my love for writing and creativity was slipping away. But today? I’m feeling AWESOME!!

After realizing that I focused too much on product vs process, I took a well-needed hiatus from writing to explore different creative channels. Specifically… I’m exploring the world of fashion design!

Fashion design is just a hobby at the moment, but by focusing on the playful exploration of doing something new, I’ve REALLY been able to explore the idea of process-oriented learning (as opposed to results-oriented learning). At the end of my hiatus, I was even craving a writing session, and I was able to actually sit down, write more of Hollow Point, and ENJOY it!

There’s more to tell, obviously, but you’ll have to listen to this podcast to find out the tea. 😉

CEFJ #77 FemmePunk, Enjoying the Process, and Building Brick-by-Brick (7/18/18)

So I’m getting lots of things done, y’all! The Camille will be coming out as its own separate novella next week, The Bohemian Badass is looking very sexy, my TV series development is coming along great, and I’m coining new sci-fi genres to boot (go FEMMEPUNK)!

But while I’m kicking ass on these things, I’m STILL struggling with writing productivity on my prose work. Plus, external comparisonitis from people who are projecting their ideas of author success onto me. So it’s been a struggle to really get into my prose writing, which is a problem being that I’d like to get more novels and novellas out this year.

The solution? Focusing on PROCESS rather than PRODUCT, and I talk a lot more about what that means in this new podcast. Check it out!

Perfectionism is a BITCH, y’all. And I’m having a case of it for real.

Sometimes I’m the only voice telling myself to keep going. Worse yet, at the same time, I’m also the only voice telling myself that I’m not good enough. LOL. Yes, it feel schizophrenic to be an artist, but I’m here to try and break through all of that with a very real exploration of the emotional rollercoaster that is #ArtLife.

Homemade breakfasts, cashew ice creams, carrot cakes, novel writing, a BOSS ass workout, and an in-house beauty day? What more can a girl ask for on her birthday?? Today is not only my personal new year, but it’s also a day of gratitude and thanks and life and love.

I am super happy right now, and a lot of that happiness is coming right from within. I briefly reflect on the personal, professional, creative, spiritual, and emotional growth I’ve achieved over the past year, and I’m really proud of how far I’ve come. Feeling super lucky to be here on this beautiful planet, and I want to continue to explore what life and the world has to offer… with my little one and my creativity at my hips, that is!

A super shout out to Judy, who is recuperating in the hospital right now, and EVEN SO, literally *dictated* her review to her husband from her hospital bed so that he could post it in time for our launch. LOVE YOU, JUDY! Thank you so much, and I wish you a very speedy recovery.

So this week has been an interesting exploration in my vacillation between deep focus and wide focus, and I realize that I need those thing to be in a 4:1 ratio if I’m going to function well as a creative. I’ll get more into it in the video, so join me!

I’m hitting a few snags in my creative production in some areas, but other areas have been totally on fleek. Trying to get balanced, but even so, I’ve been pretty happy and centered. I’ve been reflecting on my journey (and on this past week specifically) and WOW. It’s amazing how life can turn and change at the drop of a dime.

I guess this past week has just reminded me of the importance of love, honesty, gratitude, and endurance, so in addition to talking to you guys about what I got done this week, I’ll be talking about those tenets as well. <3
