Thank you so much, Michelle, for your mention. I feel truly honoured... and I don’t say this lightly! It’s thanks to you that I started my Substack, so I will always be grateful for your tremendous help and support.
For anyone out there who hasn’t yet had the privilege of having Michelle as a teacher, do yourelves a favour and go check out her courses now!!
It’s great how that hour which I use for records can actually serve as an extra hour to polish and practise (and savour, why not) ANY skill or craft, especially if it involves a combination of technical skills and artistic inspiration/expression. I’m not a parent myself but a friend of mine once told me that the amount of things you can get done in one hour before your baby wakes up/is having a nap is INSANE. I’m sure it’s the intentionality, coupled with the no distractions thing, that plays a huge role.
This is so lovely. That hour is so easily lost on us. The idea of listening to vinyl for one hour is also incredibly soothing to me -- the waviness would feel very meditative. Thank you for writing this!
I enjoyed your post, Michelle. I was a night writer for years. Currently, I am one of those early afternoon writers. New found time. Whenever the creative hour occurs, it is always a little miracle. A tonic for the spirit.
