Now it’s my turn to say thank you for your support with my project. It’s such an honor to see myself on that list, thank you :)

I appreciate you taking the time to write and share this new post, I was craving some of your writing. I agree with your idea of good things taking time and I’d never thought of comparing it to a pregnancy, it’s a good simile. You’ve brought out two new projects this year while carrying on with your freelance work, that’s pretty impressive if you ask me. Writing a book is a whole other full time job and it’s understandable that you can’t focus your brain entirely on that at the minute, but the reflection you shared, in my opinion, is a great way of facing it: Taking your time, doing it with love and enjoying the process.

Naomi :) I reached your newsletter through a recommendation from emily hubbard I read some where in her profile and I couldn't be more happy now that I read this post. I struggle a lot with patience and faith in time in general, and seeing that it actually takes months or years for other people to put out some projects it's just inspiring. Now reading your letter it came to my mind this other publication from anna fusco where she also approaches the idea of art and creation against gestation and mothering, I thought it might interest you: https://lordcowboy.substack.com/p/my-dream-is-not-a-baby.
