Welcome 29 new readers to Letters for Creatives! Hi, this is Celeste. I have been writing poems since 2017 and my low-fantasy crime novel Project Dylan since 2022.

Letters for Creatives is the place where I share my thoughts on writing, creativity, resources for creatives, and interview creators and authors.

It is official that there are more than 600 of you here, which can fill up the space of a concert hall. I could not grasp the idea of that yet. But thank you! If you have not joined yet, you can do it now :)

I always think about what would happen in the future. If you are the type who tend to plan for the future, you may create your five year plans and miss on great things that would turn your life around. If you are the opposite, anything unexpectedly good can happen.

I have tried to plan for the future. But it seems that it has not been working for me. But when I gave up on following my plan and start to listen to my intuition, it has led me to do things that would have never happen. I would have never written a poem, started this newsletter or started to work on Project Dylan. And those are the best things that have happened to me.

So I would say, let loose and listen to your intuition more when we have only one life (it would be completely different if we reincarnate).

Oliver Burkeman discussed the idea that the average lifespan lasts for around four thousand weeks if we are to live until we are eighty.

Not everyone is Bryan Johnson, who can sell a company and spend all the money to become immortal. How can we hit all our goals before the day comes? If you want to finish writing a book, run a marathon, become your own boss but it takes you forever, then what can you do?

Got ideas to make this newsletter better?
