Hey super cool stuff, I’d love to hear about the workshop thing! Been reading your articles for some time and yes, they make me laugh :)

Dude. I found you through a repost and I can't say how much I appreciate you being SO honest with your process. I find myself in much the same space... I came to SS to just share my process and musings, then started a coaching business and fell into feeling like my content had to always feed back into the system... which was super draining. Now, I'm coming back to my first love (writing fantasy) and thinking about changing my SS to simply be a place where I post my fiction writing, the occasional esoteric mystical piece and hold community space for writers... because that's what feels alive right now and I'm so DONE with trying to figure out an algorithm that changes every day. Anywho.... you DID make me laugh and thank you for modeling this. I feel like I'm going to write something similar for my people as I change. 💕

I love this Lucia - and I totally hear you on all these points. I often think similar things - it can’t be all about the sell, or else the joy of writing is all but sapped away. Can’t wait to read your next posts - and I’d also love to join one of your journaling workshops soon

Am so here for Messy 2.0! I can't wait for this treat of an edition landing in the inbox every month and to remember the joy of waiting for something again! Also really love the idea of the Messy community.

My only request – please may you work your magic to tape a sparkly nail varnish/lip gloss and sticky perfume sample to each one...
