Minor Housekeeping Update and Info to Come
We’ve been gong through the Seven Stories of Society and comparing them to climbing a mountain as we heal from the unhelpful stories that we were taught, and try to write our own.
Every November is National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo - https://nanowrimo.org/about-nano) where authors across the world attempt to write a 50,000 word novel in the entire month of November.
I always take November to teach writing tips and then I take December off to prep for next year and give myself a break. Content production is a long haul never ending process.
So I’m going to take November and teach people about emotions.
A common idea is that when chaos happens - we need to have something to do to keep from being overwhelmed by everything. It’s often suggested that art, writing or volunteering is the way to do that.
But people have a difficult time with their emotions in real life - much less in fiction. Emotions show up differently in fiction too… there’s no consequence for you once you shut the book. A real protest is going to be much different.
There’s a lot of emotions right now about the upcoming election. (I’m writing this in August 2024.) And we’ve all been tensely sitting probably since 2020 - some of us longer. The goal of this short series is to be unifying. I don’t know if that can ever truly happen - but at least we will all have exercises, skills and knowledge to know what to do with the things that we’re experiencing.
