I love this topic. My first Substack post was about intentional inconsistency. 😂 It was actually recommended as a “practice” to me by a therapist because as an autistic person I have a tendency to go “all in” and totally ignore my own needs when I prioritize consistency. Learning that pursuits are still valuable even when they are intermittent has become an even bigger theme since becoming a parent when my capacity shifts so much based on elements outside of my control.
What an wonderful way of approaching this - love that you were given this suggestion! I just went back and read your post and it’s so very relatable. Thank you for sharing Sarah. 🧡

I really enjoyed this and it has sparked a few thoughts about the creative process, thank you for sharing.
Thanks Bel - I’m forever curious about the ebb and flow (or more often in my case, buckle-up-rollercoaster-ride) of the creative process.
I hate that sometimes inconsistency is labeled 'laziness'
Indeed. To call it that is to speak from immense privilege.
