Lovingkindness For Writers: Author Edition

If you need some big love--for yourself, that pesky critique partner, your Inner Critic, that author you can't stand--this one's for you! It's for you if you want to get rid of your scarcity complex and send some big love out to your writing family--known and unknown. It's about deepening your connection to yourself and others, thereby increasing your empathy, which will help enrich your craft. Think characters who are deeply authentic, and stories from your weird, complex heart. We're playing writer jazz with the traditional mētta practice, choosing people specific to our writing life (a beloved teacher, a writer you've never met, your favorite author, that mean old reviewer/rejecting agent etc), and using phrases designed to get us pumped for our creative work: May you be happy, May you be inspired, May you FLOW. This practice is so important, Scribes. Self-love comes first here, and we need it, with all the ups and downs of the creative life, no? Love is love is love is love...

This is beautiful meditation, thank you so much. And it’s timing, simply perfect, having just been to a new writer’s group earlier today. The synchronicity is heart affirming 🙏💚
