Voice note introducing new Overthink Tank series: Working on a Dream
How not to give up on your dream (especially when you want to give up on your dream)
A voice note and a classic music video that captures the longing. I’m off today with the Toddler, so can’t really write. Hope you can listen instead!
📚 Chelsey Flood is the author of award-winning novels Infinite Sky and Nightwanderers, and a senior lecturer in creative writing at UWE. She is currently working on a book for Jessica Kingsley Publishers about the connection between undiagnosed neurodiversity and addiction + her first domestic noir. 📚
My burnout is in many ways preventing me from pursuing my music, and it really gets me down. There's an element of difficulty with focus, like you, but a huge part is the fear of having to interact with others. I can't see a way to get it back right now, but hopefully I won't feel like this forever.
Your voice has hardly changed since we were at school!
Can't wait for more thoughts. At the moment I'm trying to get my third book published so I'm working on that.
Just lots of going to the gym keeps me grounded.
