Bowie I know you are a creative and I am dipping my toes now in storytelling but sometimes I struggle to find inspiration. I wanted to ask what is it that inspires you creatively? And when you struggle to find inspiration what do you do?
Oh nonnie wow! What a question?!
Regarding the creative block I just try not to overthink about it. I used to do it when I was younger but now I have learnt to take some space from the situation and not force myself into things. Forcing myself into creation never works for me. I try to create a relaxing environment around me, get my self in the appropriate state and let my creativity express itself naturally. Inspiration comes through interaction with the things around me so getting in a state where I am open to absorb things creatively is important. However, different things work for different people. All I can advice is that you don’t concentrate on the block itself but rather on learning what works for you as a creative and what is a safe space for you to create. It is a trial and error but as you grown the picture gets clearer.
About what inspires me! I mean I can’t pin point one thing. It changes all the time. It has been a sound, a smell, a shape, a colour, a moment/conversation, a person, a feeling, a book, a movie, the way the light hits in the moment etc. Most of the time I find that it is a combination of little things together. Whatever it is that sparks my ideas I take my notebook out and write it down or my camera and take a photo or a video.
I express my creativity visually so I create boards of the little things that inspire my story and then glue them together through my ideas.
Small things from my life like the one below have been a starting point for a story creation.
Bowie! A new Skam remake season is here. I need your beautiful analysis and thoughts. I have missed seeing you around and reading your posts. Please come back.
Hey nonnies! Hope you are well. I am still travelling and enjoying that right now so I am not here much anymore.
I am aware that the Druck season is back and I am watching the episodes but will not be doing any analysis on the blog. Just discussing thoughts with some mutuals on dms whenever I pop in. 🖤

I enjoy your travel photos/posts so much. I hope filming is going well and you are enjoying it. Sending you much love 💖
Thank you nonnie. We finished filming a few weeks ago. Currently enjoying the sun in Greece and since you love the travel posts here is one for you from yesterday’s sunset 🖤.
Not you living the dream seeing us finally defeat the Germans, at Wembley no less! I’m green with envy…
…is it too soon to say it 👀⚽️🏡
It has been a long long wait, nonnie! The whole stadium was pulsating, haven’t felt like that in a long time. The vibe was so amazing!
And the German team were great opponents. Loved the game so much and the outcome even more! 🏆⚽️ We can especially thank Sterling, Kane and Pickford for that! 3 lions!
As for if it is too soon to say “it’s coming home”, as you can see we were all singing it! It is all about living the moment baby no matter how it ends! 😉
Love the book rec post. It gives me massive dark academia vibes. Can’t wait for more posts about books from you.
And the Sobbe poem post I am vibing hard here. Are you think of doing more of poetry/ character posts?
Ahahahah definitely I am all in for a dark, gloomy, despair moment and fucked up character’s study. We love walking in the shadows in this house. But then I like nature and read Mary Oliver’s poetry so I guess the cottagecore is picking through at times. Let’s be honest though, I like a basic bitch moment in literature too! It is all about versatility!
As for poetry/character posts love to continue that idea because poetry hoe here. Should we turn it into your local “Poetry doctor” blog? Here is your poetry prescription for every mood, emotion, relationship, star sign kind of thing! 😂
