I’m feeling a bit better today.
I had a very bad nightmare yesterday, which left me very shaken up for the major part of the day, and then discovered a set of less than friendly anon messages in my inbox…usually I’d just laugh and shake it off, but I was unable to yesterday.
Thank you to everyone who messaged me, and who kept me company. ♥

I miss my found family so much.
Alex, Isabelle, Sylvie.
Florence, Anais.
Zoe.
I miss you. I sincerely hope you’re doing well, and if not, that you’re getting well. Take care.

“Are you painting your nails?”
“Yes.”
“OMG, paint mine too!”
The Corona shutdown awakens funny things within my mother.
(My nails are the multicoloured ones.)

Lol, my neighbour seems to have taken advantage of one of the bars before the shutdown. He just yelled the most drunken rendition of Auld Lang Syne I’ve ever heard in my life.

I’m starting to get nervous about the virus. Not panicky, only nervous.
I have quite a few relatives and friends, including the girlfriend, who are high risk due to health complications. We’re all trying to be as careful as possible, like we wash our hands regularly, avoid crowds, but we’re in no situation in which we could avoid going out altogether for a longer period of time. We need groceries and need to do them multiple times a week since we don’t have a car…my mum needs to see her physiotherapist two times a week, otherwise her mobility will decline rapidly. The girlfriend is self-employed; she cannot simply stop working, otherwise whe won’t get enough money in to pay her bills.
I fear more for them than for me, tbh. I mean I hate being sick altogether, but still.

Characters are the most important devices in our stories. In this post, we offer 30 character motivations to kickstart your story.
Characters drive stories. Without compelling characters who are in trouble and need to reach a goal, we have no plot. They are the heartbeat of our novels and short stories, and what they want matters. Their motivations carry a story from the beginning, through the muddle in the middle, to the ending.
Must-Read: The 7 Qualities Of Compelling Character Motivations
In my post on the qualities of compelling motivations, I said that motivations only work if they matter, and if the character has something to win or lose. There need to be consequences if they fail.
Our characters need to reach a story goal. Great motivations give them the desire to want to achieve this goal. The best motivations have physical and emotional elements. For example, a person who wants to beat addiction (physical) does it to become happier (emotional).
I want to help you make sure you have a strong enough motivation for your main characters by giving you 30 character motivations to kickstart your story.

A Creative Life Online: How To Use The Internet As A Creative Tool
Welcome to the first post in ‘A Creative Life Online‘. We want to nurture your creativity by exploring how to use the internet as a creative tool.
How To Use The Internet As A Creative Tool
The internet is a tool, how we use that tool determines how effective or destructive it can be.
Have you ever wondered where your creativity comes from? I do. Often. It’s something that has kept me guessing. Creativity is so intrinsic to my life that I often forget to take note and to appreciate it.
I’ve also figured out that I feed it, sometimes unintentionally, and this makes me happy. A few months ago, I realised I wanted to feel like that a lot more, so I made a conscious decision to improve my consumption. Not just food-wise, but mind-wise. It’s part self-care, it’s part ‘killing two birds with one stone’.
I wanted to stop the mindless scrolling and brain-dead staring.
Creativity is such an amazing part of my life and it still breaks my heart when I speak to someone who says they do not consider themselves creative. You are, I promise, but you might just be a little out of practice or stuck in an online rut of miserable feeds.
