I’m on one now - transitioning to being a full time writer. Loved this. I find myself wanting to know more about the many backstories you allude to but never explicitly talk about...
Hello, Reena! That’s awesome! I was going to use the example of writing on Substack - after the initial flurry of excitement, you settle down to writing, and writing more. And there are no shortcuts to producing a body of written work- very belly of the whale! Wishing you all the very best!
Re back stories- it is the internet 😀! I find is easier to weave those with my fiction. I’m serializing my novel from mid- September and am excited about that.
Wonderful piece inspired by Campbell. I’ve experienced a few belly’s. Thankful to have a lull. Hubby and I always arrive early. Not just at airports. Parties too. We try to be fashionably late and always end up on time. We are at an airport now having arrived 3 hours early. Haha. We should name early people.
Great piece Priya. I am enjoying being taken through the different stages of Campbell’s heroes journey by you - you are laying out each step in a very accessible and engaging way.
Your piece got me thinking about when I’ve been (and if I am currently) in the belly of the whale. And I started to wonder about whether we could be in multiple whale bellies all at once - seeing that we are on many journeys all at once... just a thought.
Hello, Michael! That sounds so familiar- multiple journeys, multiple calls to adventure, and of course, multiple bellies! 😀 Thank you for taking the time to read and comment!

Me too. Back stories please.

Woo hoo!! All the best, and cannot wait to read.
Reena, thank you for your support! It’s much appreciated.

I know that feeling of needing a lull between changes! And yes, I tend to arrive early too. Have a great trip!
