Your post is so in tune with my recent reading (well, listen) of Austin Kleon’s trilogy! The whole idea of courage emerging in the doing.
Also, this was me today…I spent blooming ages on my latest post! “I can get really frustrated when I’m writing a post because it often seems like my ideas just aren’t coming together. A lot of the time, I will write something and have a draft post ready to go. Then, I’ll read it back to myself, totally doubt it and want to start again!”
Oooh I've been wanting to read those books for a long time - would you recommend reading them all or did you find one you liked best? Yes, that's it isn't it, the courage emerges in the doing. I'm so glad you can relate too, about wanting to start again when you read your post back - I'm glad it's not just me! x
I’ve just listened to all three in quick succession. You can get the trilogy with a single credit on Audible, although you can buy physical copies of the trio, too! My latest post touches on then lightly x
Thanks for the tip Sarah, I've just downloaded the audiobook of the trilogy - just read your post too, so helpful and lots to think about with collaboration too.
This is such a wonderful, relatable post and I love your practical suggestions too. It really helps to know that we aren't alone in all of this and that others struggle to varying degrees in their own creative journeys
This has been one of the biggest and most unexpected joys on Substack for me: connecting with others going through similar experiences. I find so much strength in learning from the experiences of others: thank you Jenna for bringing us together with this post!
I totally agree Holly - it's so lovely to read how others get through their experiences, there is so much wisdom we can get from reading these. Lovely to connect with you on here!

The connections I’ve made on here are so special!
I agree with this! Jenna, such a thoughtful piece!
Thanks so much Stephanie - your note on behind the scenes of writing a post had me nodding along!
