Who is this on Timtales?

Best thing

That's gruesome

Who doesn't care about contributing to saving the climate? Exactly. The big polluters.

Last year, I listened to this episode on a very early morning flight from Dublin to Brussels, the combination of female heroism with the beautiful views of a rising sun above the European clouds made it quite special.

Writing opens up a channel within me. With my eyes open, wide awake at the keyboard, I start hallucinating (no drugs though!) and put onto paper what I see. Ah - such a fantastic experience!
I hadn't posted anything on Bluesky yet, and today I felt this might be worth posting ☺️.

But in my humble opinion, it's a beautiful first draft, this opening paragraph. A first draft should be shitty, as the creativity needs to flow. To find myself writing a good first draft (opening paragraph), I could open a bottle of champagne. 🥂

I told myself, just 3 sentences. That's all I need to do. Set the scene. Open it up. And so I did. I've written a first paragraph, setting the scene, inviting the reader in. Not only am I proud, I'm very happy to see that I still got it. Maybe I was scared I'd lost it?

I had done all the preparation I could have done for the first scene of the first chapter. To then actually having my extremities making contact with the keyboard for creative writing, for opening a chapter, a FIRST chapter no less, was a terrifying thought for a few days long.

I'm remembering the unfinished manuscripts. I'm remembering the re-reading of a shitty first draft, and then calling it quits. BUT through my course for personal and business coaching, I'm learning to listen to my inner voices, understand them, and deal with them. Today is a celebration.

Procrastination said, "maybe I need to buy 'writing down the bones' again, as my copy is not at home." Later it said, "I should do more in-depth character descriptions". And it had more things to say. Then I realised, I'm listening to a voice that doesn't make sense, creativity speaking.
