I've been taking some time off from social media. My brain was over-saturated with information and disaster. I've also not been feeling well, and social media was eating up a lot of the energy which I can't afford to spare. My guts have been a mess since last summer, and my anxiety levels have been redlining more than they ought to be. I'm certain it's all related.
So instead of spending time on FaceBook, I've been working on healing and filling my brain with knowledge. I'm writing regularly, and have been taking a broad assortment of writing workshops and participating in online group write-ins. This is helping me relearn the rhythm of daily practice. I have scraps of paper all around me with notes taken from lectures. I have notebooks of drawings and text.
The courses I take are mostly free, and I find them on EventBrite. I sign up for art history, storytelling, poetry, podcast, author talks, FNIM teachings, and other sessions. I'm also taking courses here and there through Coursera and MasterClass. I listen to several podcasts, with themes from history to storytelling to current events. I've also been slowly working my way through my unread book collection.
I'm getting closer and closer to having my podcast figured out. I am tentatively calling it "Searching for Sedna." Determining a format has been a lot of work for me, and although I'm getting better at writing, I am still not a particularly speedy writer. Writing scripts is taking me even longer than I'd expected, but I'm not daunted by the challenge.
f00dave has been composing music regularly, and I hope that we might collaborate on a musical theme for the show.
