so I randomly got the inspiration for a sci-fi novel. I’ve always been more of a songwriter than a book writer. I’ve always wanted to write something and knew I would be capable if ever the idea struck. Found a notion template and have been slowly adding to it, with friends encouraging me along the way. turns out my ideas are really cool and I keep surprising myself with how good it feels to be ”in the flow” creatively.

2am thoughts so don’t mind me but as u can see i’ve been ruminating on reading and writing a lot as of late. i’m happy trying to make a name for myself as a visual artist but i’ve always joked in another life i was a novelist or poet…
i’ve still been posting on my poetry substack and that took the edge off but i realize i need more. i cringed at my old wattpad earlier in the week. i looked over my google docs of a story i wanted to write in college then abandoned bc i lost hope and steam.
i'm not getting any younger so i'm just gonna commit. i have two little fiction things that i've been toying around with for years that i’ve decided i'm going to take more seriously. who knows if ill do anything with them…i used to put too much pressure on myself when it came to fictional endeavors anyway. i just need an outlet. my brain and heart might just burst.

I always feel that the word writer is too big for me, but I would say that I am one (or at least I try to be one😹). I write a little bit of everything... In my case, at the beginning, I do very well writing what comes to mind, and when I have more material I try to make an outline/summary of where I want the story to go. If I'm writing poetry, I write directly what comes to my mind without thinking much about it. I encourage you to start writing whatever it is, many times it just comes out without thinking much about it or having it planned.😊

Before you guys ask, yes I’ve been doing the morning pages from “The Artist’s Way” LOL
Real talk though, the structure of the book has been super helpful in structuring my own creative process, and one of the best possible things it’s done for me so far is to learn how to write and create, even when you’re “not in the mood” or you’re mentally blocked. On the days I can’t think of shit, I just start rambling about gossip and chairs and people watching (or whatever misc thing is on your mind) and all of a sudden a new project idea hit me out of some random association in my brain from years ago that I never touched til now
Anyway yeah, GO WRITE AND CREATE EVEN IF YOU DONT FEEL LIKE IT bc you’ll be surprised at what finds you!!!

I still go on a couple times a day while I’m on the computer but that amounts to about 20x less than I would be otherwise. Brings down screen time more than you’d think.

I don’t want a Spotify wrapped, I don’t want an algorithm telling me what I like. Give me back the local dude at Blockbuster recommending our weekly movie night VHS, give me the cute girl at the record store saying “you might like The Cure”.
Records, VHS, Cassette, Print Magazines….gimme dat shit
