Such a good reflection Elin, that certainly many creators are facing and that I struggle with myself. A question that comes up to me is: what does value actually mean? Who decides what is of value?
Is it the poem that taught you about rhythm and musicality, and threw you into your notes pouring poetry and all that needed, got you lost and submerged in a creative flow? Or is it the post about how to write poetry that got you thinking and thinking?
Maybe by redefining Value, rewriting it, creating our own definition of it, our work will flourish from intuition and be of immense value regardless.
In a time when so much is about "how to do things", easy tips and proven methods, I miss finding play around the internet. I miss getting lost in a text for the sake of it, be pulled away by what I am reading for the sake of it. Entering the rabbit hole and stroll around 🐇 . Isn't that of enormous value? In my own definition it is. I am excited to discover more of your writing and simply be carried away by it into your unique universe, Elin! ☺️
Thank you for this - this ties into thoughts I’ve had recently about my own writing. There’s this constant tug between wanting to write something creative but thinking that I should write something of “value”, i.e. something that ultimately adds to someone else’s productivity.
Ohh how much I love this! There's so much magic to be found in the process and it's a reminder that I had to embrace again for myself. Your post is just perfect!!
I love and agree with your perspective. We’re just here to write and see what flourishes from that dedication 🌸 thanks for the reminder.
Glad to hear that! Yes, that's it isn't it, the dedication to our writing. 💛
