Looking to revamp your creativity this year?

It's never too late for New Year's (or new month!) resolutions.

When I started working on this newsletter in summer 2019, I knew I wanted to write something with specific, thoughtful recommendations for movies, books, TV shows and podcasts. I didn’t realize until I sat down to write the thing that a lot of thoughts about creativity and self-care would also come flowing out, but I was very happy when they did.

This newsletter continues to be a creative experiment. I wrote a special mini-series on creativity in the chaos of 2020 that I think is still pretty damn relevant in the chaos of 2021. (At the time of publication, this series was available only to subscribers, but I’ve since unlocked the posts to reach more people.)

If you missed this series the first time around, you can find each installment linked below. My hope is always that my insights will find the people who need this encouragement and license to explore their creativity even — especially — when the world around us is chaotic.

Part 1: Taking life a month at a time

Part 2: Prepare, but don’t wait to feel “ready”

Part 3: Step 1: Show up

Part 4: Books that changed the way I see the world

Part 5: Ask yourself these questions before we start a new year

I hope 2021 has been kind to you so far. I’ll see you around the inbox soon.
