Remember the adage, “April Showers Bring May Flowers?” Maybe it’s not an adage. I don’t know where it comes from or what it means, necessarily, and while I could look it up (and maybe I should for research purposes), maybe I’ll let the wonder linger a while. Maybe you will look it up.
Here’s how I’m using it this month: I’m adding, habit by habit, to my list of things I accomplish each week.
Not a “to-do” list. More like a “ta-da!” list.
What I hope it will yield is a fresher perspective, some new light, and more good stuff.
Is it that time of year for you too? Are you Spring Cleaning?
By the way, this goes perfectly with my weekly email [sign up at linseyewing.com]. We’re in Chapter 4 of The Artist’s Way, the chapter about (re)discovering your Creative Identity.
I really don’t know what says “Identity” better than Spring Cleaning. I mean, it’s ALL:
“I LIKE THIS,” and “THIS doesn’t work for me anymore.”
What’s Next: EDIT SOBER and LIVING WRITE in JUNE 2026 (GROUP)
Spring Cleaning is also a time of transition, of both waiting and doing, and of persevering without being able to see the end result. Kinda like creating a creative routine. Kinda like editing. Kinda like the middle of any project worth doing.
So, join me?
LIVING WRITE and EDIT SOBER are 5-week courses that include a guided journal with practical prompts and exercises to keep you moving forward every day for more than a month.
In just 5 weeks, you’ll have…
a new routine, “Dirty Draft,” or both with LIVING WRITE!
a READABLE draft worthy of beta readers or an editor with EDIT SOBER!
INTERESTED? Asynchronous courses are available!

ASD Draft 1: NEW GOAL: 50K-word draft by May 1, 2026!
I made it through my first week of the Rough Draft Challenge (RDC) with over 5k words under my belt! I only missed one day (yesterday), which made me mad to lose the streak, but I am glad and also aware that there are many days left in the month and year.
HAPPENING THIS MONTH
Tuesday Evenings: YouTube Stream at 5 PM Central / 6 EST
Creative Collective: NEXT MEETING (tentatively): MAY (the) 4 (be with you), 2026 @7:30 PM
