I'm taking extended studio time for an immersive sprint on a writing project (working title: Forms of Incubation). Also leaving Substack & moving most of my nonfiction writing (3 separate Substacks) to @paragraph. Inspired by FC scenius and the @zora mainnet launch. 💜 ⚫ 🟤 🟣 🔵 🔴🟠 🟢 🟡 ⚪
Here's my most recent take on creative incubation: https://paragraph.xyz/@danicaswanson/what-is-creative-incubation
Just realized this cast is being watched, which gave me an idea to build scenius work habits & turn this into a thread of mini-updates as I work. Quick intro: Forms of Incubation is an extended study of creative incubation and its relational contexts. It integrates material from all my previous Substacks. More soon.
@cameron gd example of what you asked about earlier in week (or last week). Danica has 3 substacks… but how do I find them? Be great if didn’t have to go hunt them all out on substack.
Update: For the duration of the immersive sprint (the next 3-4 weeks) I'll use this as my "pinned" thread for updates on this project. (Mute if not interested).
Project thread check-in: It's been a great day of work/play. For me, few pleasures in life compare to the satisfaction of spending an entire day working on an enjoyable writing project, and becoming so engrossed that you lose track of time.
Progress today: leaps and bounds. May have a full intro piece ready for release tomorrow. Will publish it on Paragraph. https://paragraph.xyz/@danicaswanson
Today's update: my intro essay is finished. 💪 Hit a small snafu, though, so it's not quite ready for publishing. I expected a few of those; it's part of the process. That's why I was careful to word yesterday's update as "MAY release tomorrow." One more day, I hope. Thanks for following my progress check-ins!
A quick update for the kind souls watching this thread: Got a few essays in various stages of completion. Excited to share them when they're finished. I also got some unfortunate news last week that puts me in a difficult position and may cut short my studio time. I'll continue to do the best I can.
Hello cast-watchers! I'm finally polishing up the second essay in my Forms of Incubation series. I'd like to publish this one as an onchain collectible on Zora. This will be my first NFT release and I don't have many examples of full onchain essays to compare with, so I feel a bit out of my depth. Suggestions welcome.
