Wild Words: Rituals, Routines, and Rhythms for Braving the Writer's Path

We write without any promise of having something worthwhile to share in the end.

After all, ordinary moments are often where we find the deepest meaning.

I’m convinced embracing a seasonal approach to your creativity can change everything, because it roots you to your own innate rhythms in a way our social media–fueled, busy-as-a-badge-of-honor culture does not.

This approach allows you the spaciousness to be exceedingly gracious with yourself, which happens to be good advice for both parenting and writing.

Writing compels us to continue on no matter the circumstances, and although change may be uncomfortable, it’s reliable.

Right before I’m about to give up, moments of clarity present themselves. It’s a cruel but reliable truth.
