Is there a colour you find comforting?

I find off-centre colours pleasant (eg greenish or purplish blue rather than pure central blue), and cool, light, not very saturated colours comfortable. But comforting? I don't know how that would work except by association with […]

#scribesandmakers 1/14. Is there a colour you find comforting?

I suppose green. There's not much I can say about it, though.

#scribesandmakers 13. Reveal the answer to yesterday's poll.
It was from Jeff Buckley’s “Opened Once” which has been on my mind since I watched the documentary about him called “It’s Never Over” recently.

#scribesandmakers 1.11 — Is your creativity ever inspired by dreams you've had? If so, can you give an example.

Yes.
For example, I had a dream that RFK died in a really fitting and satisfying way

#ScribesAndMakers 1/11. Is your creativity ever inspired by dreams you’ve had?

Both scenes are from dreams are found in #KonbiniIdol. Nazi rabbits in "Bijou the Time Traveling Ghost" are also from a dream. There are no pictures of that.

Both of the following scenes are from dreams. The one on the left has more than the one on the right. Nazi rabbits in "Bijou the Time Traveling Ghost" are also from a dream. There […]

Yes, it is! I had a dream recently in which I was walking through a forest and received the message: "Don't you realize? You are walking among the souls of giants." I made a Winter […]

#ScribesAndMakers Jan 11: Is your creativity ever inspired by dreams you’ve had?

My dreams are often complete story lines.

"Masquerade" is about an annual costume ball in which the dead socialize with the living.

"The Ghosts of PGC357B" is about a space outpost haunted by alien sloth ghosts.

Is your creativity ever inspired by dreams you’ve had? If so, can you give an example?

It's rare that I have a dream coherent enough to form a storyline, but vivid dream elements make it into world building sometimes.

The "spidbats" that show up for one scene in […]

#scribesandmakers 9. Is there a difference in how long it takes you to decide if you like different mediums? Why do you think that is?
Yes and I feel like I’m not being fair to music and visual art because it takes me longer to decide how I feel about books. But as others have said today, our […]

I think this truly depends on what the medium is and what is being shown, so it can be a different answer on any given day even for same medium.

#scribesandmakers – 9 Jan. Is there a difference in how long it takes you to decide if you like different mediums? Why do you think that is?

Of course, it is consumed in different ways. I am more knowledgeable about some than others. I am more critical of some. In other words, my relationship […]

#scribesandmakers 8. How long does it usually take you to decide if you like a book?

I have two answers to this because I listen to audiobooks a lot. If I'm listening to an audiobook sample and I can't pay attention to it in the first few minutes, it's probably because of the narrator's voice […]

I think it is easier to decide if I don't like the book, but I also realise I just might not be int he right mind for the book, so I often revisit them and end up liking, but there are books that I 🧵 1/2

#scribesandmakers 1/8. How long does it usually take you to decide if you like a book?

About a half to 2/3. I can decide I don't like a book with a few pages to a couple of chapters. Occasionally longer. There are too many ways a book can go sideways to decide instantly.

How long does it usually take you to decide if you like a book?

Surprising nobody, my answer is I don't decide whether I like things. I am enjoying something or not. After I've finished a book, I'll remember whether overall I enjoyed it and maybe think about why.

I […]

#scribesandmakers 7. How long does it usually take you to decide if you like a piece of music?
It usually only takes a few seconds. I tested this morning by listening to Apple Music’s Top 100 songs in the US.

How long does it usually take you to decide if you like a piece of music?

Again, I don't decide. I'm either enjoying it or not, in the moment. Unlike the visual arts question from yesterday, music impinges more intimately on my attention, so whether I'm enjoying a piece […]

There is no set amount. It can be instantaneous or require many listens.
