Hi and

welcome to episode 227 of art juice,

this is honest, generous and humorous conversations to feed your creative 27 of our

our juices is honest, generous and humorous conversations to feed your creative soul

and get you thinking with me Louise Fletcher and me Alice Sheridan.

So we wanted to have a chat this week. Our main topic is going to follow on from last week's episode.

So if you haven't listened to that one, it might be worth going back and having a listen.

The last episode was One Woman's show with Christine Coulson and Alice interviewed Christine who's a writer, novelist and really interesting woman.

And I, so I heard that podcast as a listener and got some some good ideas from it and it sparked some inspiration for me so we thought we'd have a chat about that but before we get onto that topic, what was your week like, Alice?

I had a really nice week. I had a week where it felt like things, and when I say things I mean ideas and feelings about future direction

started to fall into place like little ping ping ping ping

ping ping bubbles. Oh good. Very nice feeling and very welcome. Yeah.

Yeah.

Triggered by perhaps all sorts of different things which I won't touch on right now.

But yeah, very welcome and it's interesting because I think it comes at a stage where, you know, I see a lot of people feeling frustrated with themselves when they're stuck in that doldrummy stage.

And I do think it comes to all of us at different patterns perhaps and it is a very frustrating feeling and I was

also investigating sub-stack and I thought that I haven't written it yet. It's all in the ideas.

Haven't written what? I haven't written it, but I thought my first thing on

Subsacs, I'll just tell you guys instead and then I won't have to bother

and I was going to be a piece of writing called what you're waiting for and you might

expect from me that to be what you're waiting for come on dive in get on with it and actually it's the opposite is that the waiting sometimes is really important part of the process and yeah yeah because when we're in that we feel I know

you were feeling a little bit like what's wrong with me maybe I'm doing something
