Five Things I’m Thinking About: The Creative Process, Pricing Your Work, Inspiration vs. Discernment, Insanity, and the Etymology of Should
About this episode
Hi, it’s Elise Loehnen, host of PULLING THE THREAD. Today, it’s just me. I’m sharing five things I’ve been thinking about a lot—from understanding how to quantify and charge for one’s time, what to consider before starting a new creative project, and the art of a gentle no. I’m also answering some of your questions—about judgment, sanity, and the etymology of “should.”
THINGS I REFERENCE:
“Your vibration must be higher than what you create, otherwise you cannot manage it.”
“The Construct of Time”
The Matter With Things, by Iain McGilchrist
Practicing the Gentle No
What is Intuition?
