About Stillday
Essays on everyday care, creative practice and places worth getting to know.
What we write about
Stillday follows four subjects that often meet in the same day: everyday care, travel, creativity and personal growth. A lunch away from the desk, a train ride or the first page of a notebook gives a story its starting point. The essays stay close to what someone does, sees and tries.
An article about drawing a cup is also about finding a reason to return to the page. Writing about a nearby town can prompt a closer look at your own street. We follow those connections when the details support them, without asking every experience to become a lesson.
Read for an idea you can try, an unfamiliar perspective or simply a few pages away from the rest of your day.
What you will find here
Stillday publishes personal essays and practical starting points. The writing considers different budgets, access needs and ways of spending a day. A useful suggestion should be possible to adapt, and easy to leave aside.
- Everyday care that respects different needs and circumstances.
- Travel that begins with curiosity and respect for a place.
- Creative practice with room for unfinished work.
- Change that happens at a pace you can live with.
Our Values
Attention
We explain what we noticed, including the details that change how a story is understood.
Honesty
Personal experience has its limits. We distinguish what a writer tried from advice that claims to work for everyone.
Generosity
Time, money, health and responsibilities shape what is possible. Our stories acknowledge those differences.
Enough
A small improvement can be worthwhile. Not everything needs to become bigger, faster or more impressive.
