I’m Matt, and welcome to Steady Beats. If you like to walk for a better life, and also like Dire Straits’ “Walk of Life,” you just might like this newsletter.
Thanks Matt for the shoutout, it's so good to see the continuously thriving WoP community. Really appreciate you sharing Michael's diagram too. I had missed that and it's sooo good!
While not a part of the WoP team, I feel this energy off-ramp from being IN the cohort. Still going strong, but my writing tank is also low. Thanks for sharing this- and the great essay links!
Matt, I relate to your intro here so much. The last few weeks since Write of Passage ended have been tough from a creative standpoint. Motivation to write is low. But everything in life waxes and wanes. I'm trying to accept the cycles and seasons knowing that energy and excitement for writing will rebound.
Grateful to be mentioned here; nice job curating this Matt. Posting every week is intense (and you're 223 in!). I'd like to try a weekly cadence next year, and I'm thinking I'll build curation in once a month. It double functions as a needed break & a way to read carefully, celebrate other writers, and be social. Win-win.
Wow, thank you so much for the mention!!! (WOP was so fun!)

Relatable message about the energy off-ramp! And LOVE this curation piece, it’s valuable and pops super well. Enjoy some downtime between cohorts!

Great idea, as usual!
