Do you realise this is the one year anniversary of Totally Fantastic Title? I cannot believe it has been a year, and yet it has also been well over a year that we’ve been hunkering down and keeping a safe distance from people, and our industry shut its doors. I was thinking of doing something interesting for this episode. An interview, some sort of fun…thing. But I didn’t. And that’s ok.
It’s enough that I am still doing this. That I’m still creating. That has been really hard for some people I know, fellow artists and creators. There’s always so much emphasis on being productive, on achieving goals. Those are the things we tend to celebrate and congratulate each other for. But we’re all tired. I’m tired. It’s like when my kids were babies, and each day was such a slog. The things I congratulated myself for were… I had a shower. And it was before 4:00 in the afternoon! I ate a decent lunch. I had a nap.
I have to remind myself that time spent doing NOTHING is time well spent. Taking care of yourself is time well spent. So… I didn’t do anything special for the podcast’s birthday. Happy birthday, Totally Fantastic Title. See? It forgives me.
