Common Shapes

PROMPTS + More Landscapes


Listen Later

Welcome back to Common Shapes.

Dear Listener, this is the second installment of our 3-part mini-series exploring the ebbs and flows of creative work.

Today’s episode is about offline offerings— the act of returning to a practice, creating with less noise, and building new channels for connection.

Cody shares the evolution of PROMPTS. Prompts comes to your door once a month. A letter from Cody with ten writing prompts to do off screen.

Cody also reflects on the tension between visibility, burnout, and the desire to stay in conversation with their audience.

In this episode:

  • Navigating burnout and rethinking the pace and structure of the podcast
  • The desire for connection and communication without screens/social media
  • The origin of PROMPTS as a project shaped inside Landscapes (a writing co-working group)
  • Using themes as a creative constraint to support consistency and flow
  • The role of analog practices in slowing down and deepening creative work

Invitations:

  • PROMPTS (Analog Newsletter)
  • Landscapes (Writing Co-working Group)
  • Creative Ideation Portal (free resource)
  • The Practice of Attention (my new book!)
  • The Pattern of Words: From Idea to Shape in Three Weeks (upcoming class May 13, 20, and 27th)

Tune in tomorrow for episode three of this mini-series.
