This month I look at procrastination as part of the writing process. I consider both the micro and macro ways it shows up in our specific projects, our creative process and our life as an artist.I speak about:Shame and the procrastination loop.Worrying, avoiding and anxiety’s relationship to procrastination.The desire to do something that we love beautifully.Delaying moving from one phase of a creative process to the next.Journaling as a tool to discover which part of yourself is procrastinating; the human, the artist or the projectArtistic detachment as a cause of procrastination.Creative scar tissue from past projects. Feeling behind - as a result of procrastinating and a cause of procrastination. As well as the loop of procrastinating, feeling behind, getting stressed, then procrastinating because facing that we’re ‘behind’ is too painful.References:The Artist’s Way by Julia CameronPlaywright’s Process Podcast Episode 15 'The Artist's Way' Weeks 1-4Thank you for listening.
