The Return of Landscapes

Welcome back to Common Shapes.

Dear Listener, as we pause between seasons, we’re bringing you a 3-part mini series to re-connect with you and talk about the ebbs and flows of creative work.

Today’s episode explores what happens when a project comes into the foreground of our attention and asks to be revisited.

Cody shares life and work updates, and an invitation to join Landscapes: a writing group for all genres.

In this episode:

• Reflections on closing Landscapes—and what made it unsustainable at the time
• What shifted in the quiet absence of social media
• The role of creative community in anchoring a writing practice
• Returning to an offering with clearer boundaries, shared facilitation, and renewed intention

Invitations:

• Landscapes (Writing Co-working Group)
• Creative Ideation Portal (free resource)
• PROMPTS (Analog Newsletter)
• 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 two of this mini-series.

Thanks to Joi, Melissa Kaitlyn Carter, and Jess Herrera for their help making this episode.
