The prompt about April 2023 is super resonant. I started a project at that time. Loved it for awhile then it lied dormant for a bit. Now Iโ€™m digging back into it again and feeling inspired. ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿฝ

I will answer some of these questions here. The big thing I did was allow myself to not just be beholden to DC as my community of practice for both my urbanism and my fiber craft.

In tangible things I put myself out there with my podcast and trouble my original industry , I allowed myself to take a job just to make money and pour it into the craft, I helped my partner get out of a toxic job situation, and I repaired my relationship with my hometown, home state and my family.

Oh and I drafted my first draft of my query letter this morning during a Zoom with some Substack writers!

I feel this so much looking back. I also fell asleep for a good part of the day and I had to evacuate for a smoke incident. Yep, this oneโ€™s coming in with a bang
