My head is usually full of, people in my life, stuff happening around me, & partially developed writing projects (I suspect this is the same for many #authors & #editors 👀🤔) ... That music though, I think might be coming from the back of my mind but why is it accompanied by the muppets?? 👀😂😂💜❤️)

I wondered if this should be called a 'vibe snake' 🐍😂😂 ... I have many expressions while writing, this being one of them ... Especially when looking at my 1st drafts (I imagine #Editors would do too) 😱😂😂❤️💜😎

As a #BookDragon (hoarding books for their own safety 🤔😂) I reserve the right to get more books on the understanding that,

Yep ... Unless there are snacks on offer I don't think Lola is in the mood to go anywhere tonight 😂💜❤️😎

Weirdly that facial expression probably isn't far off when I'm mid #NarrativeCreation and I lose the plot (pun intended 😂) ... Though the hairstyle isn't quite right as I mostly fashion a salt & pepper buzz cut 👀😂💜❤️😎

And just like that it's October & #Halloween is fast approaching 😱 Normally I'd be planning to decorate the house but this year will be different with a much anticipated wedding event to go to instead 🤔🤗
However you celebrate Halloween, as this found #Creativity states, 'Don't fear the Meeper' 😂💜❤️😎

I love this found #CreativeHumour 👀😱😂😂 ... Weirdly I still do it today especially when I'm working offline on a poem or rhyming story when I'm trying to get the feeling of the rhythm/meter aligned through syllabic control.
When online, I've found this site useful: syllablecounter.net 🤔💜❤️😎

Yep ... It's true ... I still have some of the old Nokias which had the ability to withstand drops from a much greater height than the modern day smart phones 👀😱😂 ... Though they're not as useful, maybe I'll keep them in readiness for the apocalypse or my dark magic tendencies awaken 😱😂💜❤️😎

I love this story 💜❤️😎 and wondered if someone should #Script it into a 'Nuns on the Run' film (Not to be mistaken for the #NunsOnTheRun #ComedyFilm (1990) with the late Robbie Coltrane and Eric Idle 🤔😂😂)

In the original 'Inspector Gadget' (1983) 🤔💜❤️😎, Dr. Claw's face was never revealed, as a marketing strategy to keep the mystery alive & save on animation costs 🤔
As a #CreativeWriter although you foreshadow elements of your story, it's sometimes a tricky balance on when to do the big reveal(s) 🤔

I'm not sure being left to my own thoughts is a wise idea 🙃 Whichever of my inner personalities thought it was, they need to have a good long talk with themselves 🤔😱😂 .. And as for that one at the back ... I've got my eye on you 👀🤔😂😂💜❤️😎

🤔🙄😱

Where do writers get their ideas? 🤔😳 ... Weird stories come out of nowhere ... Sometimes, they almost write themselves.

The first choice for me (if I have one) is usually a question of how i perceive the idea and what genre I'll likely write it in? (Horror/Thriller/Drama/Comedy 🤔😱😂😂💜❤️😎)

Despite the delays and cold last night, here's some amazing #Creativity from the #DroneArtShow in Manchester 💜❤️😎 (unfortunately due to bsky limitations I can't post more here ... Checkout my Insta for more)

Anyone interested in watching one of their shows take a look here: thedroneartshow.com

This is no bull 🤔 What's also amazing is the udderly humongous size of the nest they make 🤔😱... Take care when moooving through the countryside ... Especially if they herd on the bovine that you were coming .. Wait .. Am I milking the puns? 😂😂💜❤️😂

As per yesterday's post, if English is already one of the hardest languages to learn 😱 do these grammatically correct paragraphs help? 🤔🙃😱😂

From the perspective of a #CreativeWriter , this in a narrative could also pose a challenge for any hardy #BetaReaders #WriterAudiences & #Editors 💜❤️😎

I have a love/hate relationship with learning other languages 💜❤️😎 It's similar to my occasional foray into learning musical instruments 🤔 I love the initial process but get easily frustrated, much like others might do if they're confronted with our infuriating English language rules and nuances 🤔😱

I loved this #Animation series & love this origination idea 💜❤️😎 ... Apparently, if the story is true, #PinkyAndTheBrain were based on 2 real-life Animation producers/story-boarders (Eddie Fitzgerald (who inspired Pinky) & Tom Minton (who inspired Brain)) 🤔😱

Trevor Flanagan (Writer) @trevorflanagan.bsky.social · 22d

It's no secret that I love watching #AnimatedFilms 💜❤️😎 Despite some of the modern day issues with them, I've recently been re-watching some of the 'Disney Classics' & also some newer ones 🤔😎 ... (And nope ... I can't think of another #DisneyAnimation which doesn't show the antagonist 🤔🙃😱)
