The somewhat unromantic reality is that a creative practice requires discipline and routine; after all, it\u2019s ultimately a muscle, right? So, what does that mean for a writer \/ musician \/ Creative Director who \u2014 like the rest of the world \u2014 was dormant (in many senses of the word) for 2020 and at least half of 2021?<\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alarm goes off at 6am; brush teeth; pull on activewear; grab headphones; stuff keys and Monzo card into my sports bra, open the squeaky front door onto the London street and run, run, run into the morning. The canal is foggy, dotted only with a few other joggers who are also hell bent on a moment of outdoor solitude before their lockdown day begins. Takeaway coffee in hand, quick WhatsApp call with a friend in Oz, and then it\u2019s back to the bedroom home office where the laptop opens at 8am and shuts at 7-ish pm. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rinse and repeat for a year and half \u2014 the routine keeps you safe \u2014 and then fly to a Tuscan villa and tell yourself to \u201ccreate\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a week of Covid-19 isolation in an airport hotel, surrounded only by snacks and everything on the internet, I taxi to Pontedera train station before spotting a tall, friendly-looking person wearing a paint-splattered t-shirt who I decide must be a fellow artist, and it is. One more artist and a Villa Lena team member later, and the four of us are driven to what I think must be the largest supermarket I\u2019ve ever seen, resembling a boxy, cinematic relic from the 1980s. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It feels like a social experiment: being thrust into endless, wide aisles filled with Italian goods, fluorescent lighting, muzak and the sound of trolleys, nodding at the fellow artists (who you met ten minutes ago) in the Parmesan section, which is twenty variations strong.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20482 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-09-06-at-17.13.58.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"322\" height=\"430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-09-06-at-17.13.58.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-09-06-at-17.13.58-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-09-06-at-17.13.58-375x500.jpeg 375w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-09-06-at-17.13.58-500x667.jpeg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 322px) 100vw, 322px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span>Back in the car, up the winding road and 30-minutes later, we arrive.

Three of the four walls are covered in white; blank canvases, ready to receive. I think about what it feels like to open a new Google doc&#8230; that moment before you start writing and the blinking cursor stares at you aggressively; I look up and realise that the blank page has come to life and it\u2019s multiplied.
