Description

Here&#8217;s the deal: Jess and I (KJ here) have been rolling with different energies lately. She&#8217;s letting the spirit move her. Being inspired. Putting time into other creative projects and inviting that to feed her soul. I&#8217;m stepping over other projects, telling the spirit I&#8217;m not home right now and keeping the spotlight in one place.<br/><br/>In this episode, we talk about when you can&#8212;and can&#8217;t&#8212;go with the flow. How we handle it when other ideas beckon, but a deadline demands our attention. What we do between projects and why. And why KJ puts a meal plan on the fridge every week, while Jess asks &#8220;what do we feel like eating?&#8221;&#8212;but that does NOT mean Jess can&#8217;t make a plan and stick to it, or that KJ never follows the muse. (Although, re: dinner: I don&#8217;t CARE what you feel like eating. This is what we&#8217;re having.)<br/><br/>As always, if you&#8217;ve got a pressing writerly question you&#8217;d like us to answer or that you might be willing to work through on the show, email us: <a href="mailto:amwriting@substack.com">amwriting@substack.com</a>. <br/><br/>Links from the Pod:<br/><br/><a href="https://www.jessicalahey.com/comingofageinthemiddle/2015/3/24/special-care-instructions">Special Care Instructions blog post</a><br/><br/><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B1jRQ6qAn3b/">Jess&#8217; video on Instagram</a><br/><br/><a href="https://enophone.com/">KJ&#8217;s dumb headphones</a><br/><br/><a href="https://asoftmurmur.com/">A Soft Murmur web app</a> <br/><br/><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8740976/">Inventing Anna</a><br/><br/><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9781548271107">2k to 10k: Writing Faster, Writing Better, and Writing More of What You Love</a> by Rachel Aaron<br/><br/><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9781733251129">Blueprint for a Book</a> by Jennie Nash<br/><br/><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9780399579745">Save the Cat!
