This is The Writist, a newsletter about living into the creative life.
Hi, I’m Susan! Welcome to The Writist, a subscriber only newsletter for creatives, or the creative curious. I want this to be a space for great conversations, a place to ask questions, and perhaps try your hand at something new.
I will be sharing my own creative adventure here and you will have an inside look at bringing a poetry manuscript together for eventual publication. I am self published writer, a visual artist, a Mim (what my grands call me), a gardener, a wife, a jack of all trades (most likely master of none), and, how my mother in law once described me, good with a hammer and in the kitchen!
Living a creative life doesn’t have to mean choosing one track. You don’t have to be only a writer, only an artist, only an accountant(yes, they ARE creative-have you ever SEEN a spreadsheet?), only an anything…baking bread is an act of attentive creation, so is coordinating carpools. If you problem solve your are acting from a place of creativity! The Writist isn’t about being labeled, and it isn’t about being “good” at something-it is about process, and practice, and giving yourself permission to just try.
I’ll write more about this in future posts. For now, HELLO, and welcome…let’s create something new, together!
Peace,
Susan
