Author’s note pt.2 ~

Lately I haver been playing with the idea of starting to write something. I already know my opening sentence. Don’t know if it is any good but it keeps coming back to me when I am doing the most random things; commuting to work, cooking, watching television….

I don’t know if I am any good and I definitely have no idea if it will go beyond the first lines.

However, I feel like I should give it a shot. I can’t tell you which direction it’s going to take, but I feel it’s a family story, a sort of biography of some imaginary figment from my head.

For some reason, I kind of want them to be French. I want to write about someone. Some extraordinary adventure. Someone’s life and wants a hardship.

I am aware it has been done time and time again, but, there is something here and, even if I never finish and this happens to just be a passing idea or maybe it’s nothing. Maybe I’ll be tired or forget about it entire. Maybe, it is just a new year idea – that something new has to start. Maybe. Still worth peeling. For me.

I will try and make sense of my thoughts. So I will open a new Category on my blog. Yes, there will still be random posts of whatever comes into my mind, but from now on ‘The Process of Writing’ will be a spinoff of this place. I will start with ideas or chapters or just random drafts. Hopefully, somewhere down the line something resembling a book, a story, an adventure will come out of it. And if I wish really, really hard, just maybe, it won’t be too bad.

 

So bear with me, read it (and hopefully) enjoy it.

On being creative;

A few weeks ago I bought myself one of the anti-stress adult colouring books. I had old pencils but then decided to add texture and got me some crayons and filter pens and all kinds of colourful things to add to it.

I like to think that I have always been a creative child. I remember being very young and writing little stories, painting little pictures for it and bounding them like a book with hard colour paper and  the bows we use to put on a wrapped present.

Anyway, I am digressing… The more I paint and decorate those drawings I have been feeling like doing more and more things. I had a little look on others people ideas for inspiration and I was thinking either little abstract paintings with letters or handmade boxes that can be used instead of wrapping paper.

What do you guys think? Any ideas or tips? Some advice?

I will definitely share whatever I decide on!
