You're a really great writer and I enjoyed this article so much! We live very different lives as I'm not a new mother haha, but find many similarities in keeping yoga as a life scaffold. First off, "rawdogging motherhood" is such a memorable quote. When I read " a backbone for your content" I immediately thought about a yoga block (prop). In my experience the best yoga practitioners are those who always keep a block with them. What I got from this article is that when we show up to the mat-everyday is different. Some days I'll be more flexible and some days more stiff. If I can maintain a strong 'backbone' though, I'll be able to stay consistent and keep creating. Keep em' coming!
Wow — loved this! Your take on starting with the title actually reminded me of how Stephen King suggests writing fiction from inside the story with a compelling scene or scenario, rather than from an outline. When I tried writing this way, I found that the story unfolded naturally around that initial hit of inspiration. Perhaps more importantly, it felt way more alive than stories written from structured outlines.
I think article writing works the same way, with the title capturing that hit of inspiration and the article unfolding around it.
Yesss to all of this! Thank you bringing the creativity consistency train our way and I can SOOO relate to the Notes app call out. I’m constantly dropping ideas like I’m discovering the secret of life into my Notes no matter where I’m going! 😅😬🙌
This is super helpful! Thank you! It never would have occurred to me to write the title first but I could see how that could be transformative. Now I want tips on how to create good titles! 😂
keep the muse on speed dial 🙏🏼 love love love
So glad it sang your song! 🤍
