Which creative season are you in?

At my last zoom hangout with paid subscribers, I asked the group which creative seasons they were in. Here are a few of their lovely and relatable responses:

• Crop rotation season

• Transition season

• What’s next season

• Slump season

• Get everything done season

• Go-Go-Go season

There’s power in naming these seasons. And in remembering that, for better or worse, they aren’t permanent. The whole point of a season is that it will END—and that it will also RETURN.

The next zoom hangout will be Saturday Sept 5 at 11am ET. Registration link can be found at my paid subscribers info page.

Thanks for reading The Habit of Art by Kelcey Ervick, a Substack Featured Publication (twice!). I love writing and drawing these posts and am grateful to everyone who follows along. I’m an award-winning author of four books including the graphic memoir The Keeper. I’m a professor of creative writing and live in Indiana on the banks of the St. Joseph River.
