New month, new prompts in the 2022 Words for Creating and Being series.
As the days get darker and night falls quickly, we shift and transition. It’s a time when we begin to tap into a different pace, and one where creativity can flourish.
If you’re in need of a daily practice, this month there’s Austin Kleon’s 30-day challenge or you could even try your hand at NaNoWriMo, the popular monthlong novel writing challenge.
Or you can just sit with these words and let them marinate. Give them space, give them time. And do the same for yourself.

What happens when we sit with a word? When we unpack it? When we investigate every single letter? When we consider what’s behind the definition? That’s what these words are for. They are intended to create space for contemplation, they are an ask for you to invest time in the creative process in all of its forms.
