Good morning,
And welcome to the Artist Morning Writers Club.
My name is Darius,
And I am so grateful you and I get this time together.
This is a short meditation made specifically for new and emerging writers.
Let's begin nice and slow.
If your eyes are open,
I want to invite you to close them now as we begin to go inwards together,
Moving from your headspace into your heart space.
How is your heart this morning?
How is your heart this morning?
What's alive inside you here and now?
This day is a new day,
A new canvas.
This week is a new week,
A new opportunity for you to contribute something.
If you've been coming to the Writers Club for a while,
You know I talk about writing and Substack specifically as being a museum of your best ideas.
A museum of your best ideas.
And so I want you to imagine you are standing outside of a beautiful museum.
Your name is on top of the door.
This is your museum.
Let's walk through your museum now.
Open the door and enter.
And as we walk through,
It's beautifully lit.
The air is fresh.
There's soft music playing in the background.
And the energy and atmosphere is calm and joyful.
As you continue walking through,
You see frames,
Empty frames on the wall.
This is your museum.
You,
Dear artist,
Are the curator.
You are the artist.
And you get to decide if this day,
This week,
You will contribute something new.
Take a nice deep breath.
And just take that in.
Your museum.
You're the artist.
You're the curator.
And if there's nothing you want to contribute today or this week,
That's okay.
Nothing needs to happen.
If you want to take the courageous and bold step of sharing your ideas,
Sharing your story,
Sharing your writing,
The museum is ready.
New day.
Is there something you want to contribute to the museum of your best ideas?
This is our last song this morning.
I'm going to stay quiet and just let you sit with that.
This is a new day.
This is a new week.
Is there something you'd like to contribute to your museum?
And let's take a nice deep breath here to bring our meditation to an end.
Breathing in.
Big exhale out.
And before we move to our writing today,
I want to say this.
To share your stories,
Your ideas,
Your creativity with the world is a courageous act.
99.
999% of people will not put anything up on the walls of their museum.
So if you feel resistance,
If you feel unsure,
If you feel nervous,
That is the creative journey.
Especially if you haven't put something up in a very long time.
That's probably why you are here at the Writers Club.
So be kind to yourself.
Be gentle with yourself.
And maybe today and maybe this week is the moment you put something on the wall and you begin to fill your museum.
For those that are here live,
I'm going to share a writing exercise and put 66 minutes on the clock and allow us to dive deep into today's and into this week's writing journey.
Thank you once again.
My name is Darius and I will see you next time.
