A few days ago, Ruth from Silver Screenings held The Silver Screenings Awards over on their website.
This is an award that they hand out to various bloggers they like, from time to time.
I Won a Pop Culture Award
Winnie-the-Doom
Years ago, I was enjoying my regular stroll though my local shopping-mall, when I suddenly saw it.
A Winnie-the-Pooh kiddie ride!
Time Travel Stories
I love time travel in fiction.
That is one of the main reasons why I love Doctor Who.
I love how this storytelling device can put ideologies from vastly different cultures, separated by decades or centuries, up against each other. By doing this, we can compare them, and find strengths and weaknesses in both. It can also just lead to funny jokes, or cool imagery, like a medieval knight riding on a velociraptor and wielding a laser sword.
Writing Inspiration #5 – Other Writers
Writing Inspiration #4 was about taking inspiration from video essays, often about analyses of certain works or writers.
Writing Inspiration #4 – Video Essays
When I am stuck while writing, I watch video essays.
Not to blindly follow the storytelling-advice they provide, but to shake something out from my brain that was already there, just a bit out of reach.
Writing Inspiration #3 – Nature
In my last post I told you about how the Hamilton-song “Non Stop” shames me into writing. This time I want to write about the beauty and horror you can find in nature, when taking a hike.
Writing Inspiration #2 – Music
Like with visual art, there are many ways which music can inspire you when you write.
It can set you in the correct mood or mindset. Or maybe the lyrics of a song can set your mind on an idea.
Writing Inspiration #1 – Art
This week (and some of next) I want to make a short blog-series about the various things that inspire me when I write.
Since I’ve already gone into great detail about how the art of Theodor Kittelsen have inspired me, I figured this was a good place to start.
