Slow Writing
with Nicole Gulotta
💫 You're in the right place if...
You know in your bones that the speed of the world doesn’t align with your body
You're craving a deeper connection to your creativity
You could use a nap
You're juggling a job, motherhood, elder care, health issues (or all of the above) and writing feels far away
The sound of rain makes you want to curl up with a good book
🐌 Create at your own pace
Slow Writing is a way of moving through life in a way that meets you where you are. No hustle. No urgency. Just a sustainable writing practice that honors your own unique rhythms, creative seasons, and inner wisdom.
This way of being grew out of my second book, WILD WORDS, which identifies 10 creative seasons to anchor to when you feel adrift. I was a new mother when I wrote it, and this reframing helped me normalize my circumstances as well as profoundly adapt how I approach my writing life.
✍️ A FREE seasonal workbook
As a welcome when you subscribe, I’ll send you THRESHOLDS, a seasonal reflection ritual that’s anchored my own writing life for years. It’s a gentle invitation to notice what’s changing, celebrate what’s working, and make space for what wants to come next. I hope it feels like an expansive invitation to deepen the connection to yourself and your work.
📫 What you'll find in your inbox
I won't send you emails every Wednesday morning at 8 am. I'll send them when I have something to share (like a new podcast episode, a monthly list of good things, a note of encouragement, or book-related news). Sometimes it's monthly, but if there's more to talk about, I'll write to you more often. The schedule ebbs and flows like creativity itself.
About me
I’m a podcast host, tea drinker, rest advocate, and ocean lover who has published two books: WILD WORDS: RITUALS, ROUTINES, AND RHYTHMS FOR BRAVING THE WRITER’S PATH and the literary cookbook EAT THIS POEM. As an encourager at heart, I spend a lot of time sharing insights, tools, and ideas for slowing down, caring for yourself in all the ways, and creating at a pace that feels good for you, not an algorithm.
