Caitlin, thank you so much for this framing of something I've always felt overwhelmed by. I'm intrigued by the idea of formally stacking projects and that each of these types of creative energy needs their own bucket. I've I guess been doing this informally but always feeling guilty for being behind or not doing enough of one type of project, and this makes me feel like I can reframe that. I'm especially someone who LOVES to ideate (first time using it as a verb, thanks to you). I'm brainstorming a nonfiction book proposal and totally enjoying it, I think because there's no pressure to make it perfect since it's just an idea, and working on various ongoing projects, like compiling a solo collection of new and unpublished, short stories, editing two anthologies (a few months apart), and editing a weekly personal essay publication, Open Secrets, plus freelance gigs. It's a lot to juggle and sometimes overwhelming but as I was reading over your list, I was thinking about how I actually get creative energy from each of these, as long as I don't try to do them all at once.
