This is a scrappy recording before I replaced my microphone.
If you’d prefer you can read the transcript here.
Today I’ve recorded a chat about taking up space and my goal to submit to 100 creative opportunities - for fine art and writing.
I’ve created a little printable to share with you. I’ve made it the perfect size for those little gold star stickers. The idea is that we celebrate the effort of the submission. And that we try to disentangle the expectations and pressure on each individual opportunity and instead look at the effort as a whole.
You can find all the printables I mentioned here:
I also mention my Creative Ecosystem Companionship. Here’s some more information about that.

I’m so excited to be announcing the Creative Ecosystem Companionship! 🌙 The Companionship is a year round community to support your creative practice. This is for you if you are seeking… Creative Kinship Gentle Accountability Support & Creative Coaching
Let’s chat in comments.
How do you feel about the balance of rooting and reaching? Are you in a place of reaching out and connecting or regenerating and focusing on your work?
Goodies for you!
If you ever use on of my printables I’d love to know! Tag me on Instagram @sarahdshotts.
Cheers,
P.S. In a stunning turn of events 2 out of 3 of my submissions were accepted TODAY! While this doesn’t really fit within the narrative I was crafting about “slow and steady” it does show the power of putting your energy toward something. I’m feeling incredibly validated as one of these events is for my book and the other for my art. I’ll share more about these opportunities later on.
I deeply appreciate the simplicity of this chart and how it intuitively redirects us to focus on the process of laying one stone each day, as opposed to inadvertently getting tangled in the outcome. Incredible idea, Sarah. Thank you for sharing it!
