This week on Honestly, Dear Listener, we face one of the hardest weeks for our creative practice: an entire week of NO NUMBING OUT. Inspired by Week 4 of Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way, we said no to reading (yes—reading), audiobooks and podcasts, social media, TV, and anything else that we do to fill the silence around us. In this episode, we relay how this silence has changed or hasn’t changed our artistic practice and what we’re taking with us as we transition back after this week.
