  • Writing Advice

    As a writer myself, here are some writing tips I have picked up over time.  This is open to conversation, disagreement or likeness. This advice is all my opinion, and I’m open to be proven ‘wrong’ about certain points.  Bonus tip: 10. Creativity is subjective. So is how we perceive…

  • Dead Musician’s Support Group

    Being dead has been difficult to adjust to. My fingers are itching to get back to the strings of my instrument. I am constantly tapping my foot to an imaginary beat. Music was my everything in life, and the afterlife of silence is agonising.  It turns out, I’m not alone…

  • Out of Ink

    All of my stationery is starting to run dry. My pens are missing the strokes I put to paper. The highlighters look dull. It’s not how it’s supposed to be. I need my stationery working in order to keep creating. I can’t make art without my tools. This isn’t fair!…

  • My Obsession

    She is so beautiful. I love admiring her everywhere she goes. I know all her favourite coffee places and where she gets her hair done. I’ve read through her diary and know every detail of her life. My camera roll is filled with photos of her posing and living out…

  • The ‘MAIN EVENT’

    Big stadiums. Big flashy lights. Pyro programmed and loaded for the show. Screaming fans. Loud! That’s me! I’m not one of these elements alone, but the extravaganza event of a lifetime. I am the main event. I’m big and flashy and fun, and also the party that creates lifelong memories…

  • Bright, Vivid Colours

    The colours dance around the room as they usually do when I’m exhausted. The oranges become purples, the greens become pinks, and so on and so forth. It is a nice pastime of mine taht makes me feel somewhat alive and somewhat dead. I don’t know what the colours mean,…

  • natural Job Selection

    All creatives will relate to this. Every painter finds work at a gallery or an art supply store, so they get closer to their goal. Same with writers – they find work at a publishing house. Musicians work in recording studios. They all have the commonality of utilising the resources…

  • One Man Band

    I inherited a whole bunch of money from my parents. I should go shopping with this money immediately. I’ve always dreamed of starting a band. Off to the music shop I go! One drumkit, one electric guitar, one acoustic guitar, one bass, one double bass, one trumpet, one saxophone, one…

  • Breaking the Art Laws

    Skyscrapers all of the same design. Identical businesses shoeboxed in next to each other. The same monotonous colour palette. People passing by with approved hairstyles and clothes.  I live in a society where art and creative culture are forbidden by law. Where 2+2=4 and everything objectively falls into line. Only…
