I love all of this so much. I love taking showers, but I haven't thought about it in terms of letting the energy slide with the soap suds down the drain. Will try it out! I do enjoy lighting a candle when writing, and I miss sitting in favorite coffee shops to write! Instead, I put on a few YouTube videos with rainy/coffee/jazz vibes! Listening to a video of Hozier singing with the rain falling in the background has become a new favorite of mine. Thank you for sharing! <3
Oh I love this! Have you come across some of the apps that give you the coffee shop sounds (background chatter, clinking of spoons, cups etc? https://rainycafe.com (this one gives you coffee shop and rain!)
I haven't heard of rainy cafe but I'll check it out! I've seen some on YouTube, and I particularly like this one of Hozier in the rain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7K7pOs2gZg0
Another wonderful newsletter, Susannah. For me, if I’m writing fiction, I need to write first thing in the morning before the off-page world comes calling. I call it “giving the story my first self”. I love your idea of showering post-writing and letting the words slip away. Brilliant ❤️
Thank you Rosemary and I love that, "Giving the story my first self" beautiful! I am also a big fan of early morning writing (which my 20 year old self who wrote through the night would be very surprised about).
