Today I’m feeling a bit burnt out. One of those days where everything feels louder and heavier than usual. Working on this week’s theme — Noticing has gently reminded me that creativity doesn’t always mean doing more. Sometimes it means doing less and paying closer attention instead. Noticing the light through the window. Noticing my breath slow down. Noticing when my body is asking me to pause. These moments don’t look productive, but they matter just as much. They hold us when we’re tired. They help us come back to ourselves. I have added week three to the classroom ( including kids version) enjoy and spread the wealth 🥰 If today feels like a noticing day for you too, that’s more than enough 🌱

Today, my cup is full. Not because I’m overwhelmed. Not because I’m overworked. And not because I’ve stretched myself too thin. But because I feel loved. I’ve spent time catching up with the people I love and care about, we’ve had meaningful conversations — the kind that quietly settle in your chest and feel like food for your soul. This community has also been quietly growing, and I’m seeing people support one another in such a gentle, genuine way. That alone makes my heart feel so full. I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for showing up, for being present, and for taking the time to be here. I truly appreciate every one of you 🙏🏼

Hi everyone! I'm Kane! I've never used Skool before and have only recently been introduced to it via Kate who has been my partner in crime for many years! I'm so proud that she has created a space for all creatives to come and share their work, ideas, and stories, and it's so good to see it growing. I recently graduated in Creative Writing and am currently undertaking a research MPhil in Golden Age Detective Fiction and to help me advance my research skills, I have recently started a new podcast where I dive deep into the lives of the authors behind some of the most iconic books, it would be really good if any of you would check it out. So far the podcast has covered Agatha Christie, John Steinbeck, Enid Blyton and more - and at the moment we have a special giveaway on our Instagram (see image attached). If anyone would like to check it out, it's called The Author Files [theauthorfilespodcast on Instagram]. I love writing, it's my passion but I also love to see people's art - something which I'm not very good at myself! But as mentioned previously it is so nice to finally have a space where I can share work and see and get involved in other's work too. Anyway, now that I've introduced myself and done some shameless plugging, I hope everyone is keeping well and enjoying this space! I look forward to interacting with you all!
