How I Write My Substack
The rhythm, the rituals, the editing pass that turns a half-thought into a published piece. Includes the prompt I use to wake up my voice, and the rule that keeps me from over-polishing.
A growing series of personal field guides — on writing, podcasting, mindfulness, and the rituals behind a creative life that holds. Made with care, given freely.
The rhythm, the rituals, the editing pass that turns a half-thought into a published piece. Includes the prompt I use to wake up my voice, and the rule that keeps me from over-polishing.
From the half-formed idea to In Real Time with Katoya Palmer live on Apple Podcasts — gear, workflow, what I'd skip, and the conversations I'd plan differently if I started over.
What I actually do — daily, weekly, monthly — to stay whole in the thick of it. Built for the woman in the middle, juggling more than makes sense.
My twelve-week wind-down — the close-out questions, the journals I re-read, the spreadsheet that helps me see what the year actually was. Not productivity. Reckoning.
