I will be organizing a podcast festival in my city of Montpellier. We have to start from scratch but I'm so excited because we can do anything (well, we don't have any money ahahahah but we can do anything content wise).
Things are shifting slowly lately and moving towards audio documentary writing, which delights me. I shall use the next sprint to work on an idea !
Claire - I love this! The freedom to do anything with the constraint of no money (as it always the way with a creative project). Can't wait to hear how you get on on the next sprint. I might join you with a podcast project that week.
I can vouch for the 'good things' approach! I make a brief list of good things that have happened each week in my writing diary, every Sunday. There's usually at least one writing-related thing along with other joys, big and small, like a particularly delicious meal, or seeing friends, or spotting the first snowdrops in the park. It helps to put things into perspective - there might be all manner of bad things happening, both personal and in the wider world (especially now), but there are always good things to remind me why I persevere regardless. And the fact that I write and keep writing, despite everything, is the biggest good thing of all!
This is great Dipika - having a specific day of the week to reflect and gather the good. There is something about Sundays that lend themselves to gratitude and reflection. So pleased you are enjoying the writing and noticing all those good things.

That sounds like a great weekly habit! I’m going to try that for Lent
Lent is such a good structure for new habits! Can't wait to hear how you get on.
