Excellent piece by @… on the ebb and flow of creative work and the inevitability and importance of fallow periods.
“What I failed to notice: that the fallow periods were doing something too. They were composting. I was taking in books and conversations and experiences without the pressure to immediately metabolize them into output. I was wandering without a map, which meant I sometimes stumbled into territory I never would have found if I'd been navigating by GPS.
The harvest seasons, when they returned, drew on seeds I hadn't remembered planting.”
