Once before when I had weeks filled with competing demands I just sent my letter subscribers at the time a quick email that said “Expect Chaos.” It’s been a couple of weeks like that around here. Despite what my brain is trying to make me believe about it (I’m behind, I’m shit, no one will ever subscribe to my writing, etc) I really do want to normalise productivity gaps for everyone, and especially creatives. Missing a few posts is not abnormal, I want to consider it a normal part for me. I can’t write when I’m stressed or worried or just have a bunch of real life things like taxes and where I want to live (or not live) demanding all my attention.
Creativity is the first thing to go.
