Can I write an article within 10 minutes before my flight takes off to Berlin? Let’s see. If you’re reading this, I guess it was a success!
What happens if we don’t overthink things and just write. That’s been my philosophy over the last month; done, not perfect.
I’ve been researching lots around the writing process. Mentoring lots. Reflecting lots. In writing terms I have been going through the Dark Night of the Soul; like a painful shedding of the snakeskin I’ve been wearing - the Year of the Horse is calling.
Heart rate pounding as time pressure ensues.
Heart rate pounding also because I’m sat on a flight that I didn’t foresee myself sitting on a couple of weeks back and following an impulse into the unknown.
Heart rate pounding - am I oversharing?
Maybe I don’t have enough time to tell you about “my month with God” but that was the article I started drafting and didn’t complete.
“The Dark Night of the Soul is a critical plot beat occurring near the end of Act Two, where the hero faces absolute defeat, despair, and the loss of everything they valued after the "All is Lost" moment. It forces them to confront their deepest flaws, internalize the consequences of their actions, and find the inner strength needed for the final transformation in Act Three.”
I’m trusting more than ever in my process. My trust in the process feels directly linked to my trust in myself. I believe that everything that happens to us, happens for us. This has been the lesson over and over and over.
This time, I’m ready for my Act Three.
Ready for takeoff.
