I'm obsessed that you wrote about the luteal phase--my arch nemesis but also something I've come to revere as a good informational time where suppressed needs coming roaring to the surface. I find that when I cut sugar from my diet PMS is better but who wants to do that, I know. Thanks for writing about this!
I also once thought during a luteal phase I would write a short story collection called The Luteal Truth and every story would be about a woman in her luteal phase. LOL but also seriously maybe I will.
"suppressed needs coming roaring to the surface." Yes! and omg can you please write that book?! I would rip it off the shelf LOL (also thank you for the sugar reminder. I have been thinking about how I need to cool it on the sweets lately for my hormonal health so I needed that)
This is fascinating. I do most of my creative writing early in the morning before everyone else wakes up, and I'm often too tired to wake up earlier during my period. I'll need to pay closer attention to what lands on the page during different phases too!
okay I'm psyched this is an interesting topic to you because I could defiantly write more about it! Hormones are WILD. And yes dropping things during PMS is a legit symptom which feels cruel lol If you try this, please tell me!

It’s so helpful to notice these things rather than push against, for me! I’m curious if you notice anything different or similar during your cycle!
IS THAT WHY I DROP THINGS CONSTANTLY ON CERTAIN DAYS?!? You’re blowing my mind with this entire post. I need to try this magical nap technique!

Wow, this is so fascinating to think about!
