Ep 053 Final Thoughts for '23


Listen Later

Final thoughts for 2023, dear listener. I’ll be back in 24, for sure.

(I like that rhyme!)

Three things that might be of interest to you in this ep (another ep inspired by a lovely Duck Pond member).

  1. My favourite book on spirituality and why.
  2. My favourite book on creativity and why.
  3. The oracle decks I use in my Full Moon readings in the Duck Pond.
  4. By today’s standards, when the market is flooded with all sorts of spiritual and creativity treasures, the books I discuss in this ep might seem like 101s. But that’s why they’re so important to me — and I suspect it’s why they are classics, too. They are foundational.

    Also in this closing ep, why I decided to form an IRL writers’ group in 2024, and the difference between a critique group and a writers’ group. (Big relief sigh here, as I didn’t realise there was a difference until a duckie set me straight!)
