27. the absolute limit
creativity is not an equation
but an exchange with salvation;
a gentle persuasion...
admire to inspire; appreciate, create
feel all emotion; flow, fill, abate

really i think step one of really digging your teeth and nails into a work of fiction is to surgically excise the buzzwords "media" and "consuming media" and possibly even "entertainment" from your brain and instead try grafting in the terms "fiction" and "engaging with art". step two is to have fun and be yourself!

Stop using productivity apps. Use these instead.
Welcome to Analog Action, the best channel on YouTube for getting things done with simple tools like pen and paper, a pencil, a whiteboard, and timers. You can even use sticky notes! Ask yourself: How often do you really go back through that endless list of to-dos stuck in your reminders or productivity app of choice? If you’re anything like me, too many of those to-dos get lost in the infinite…

Am I the only one who thinks The Secret History would be way more interesting as a stage play than a movie? It could be put on in the same style as a Greek tragedy, taking inspiration from ancient performances. Or there could be constant rotating sets and backgrounds, but the mountains and the cliffs always being present onstage, reminding us that what no matter what Richard is telling us, and no matter how much Richard and the Greek class try to rationalize it, they will always be haunted by what they have done. THINK ABOUT HOW THE BACCHANAL COULD BE SHOWN

no ai generated content will ever compare to the absolutely cartoonishly evil plot to cut down trees to prevent workers from striking to get livable wage.

Writing Tip - What ‘Habit Over Motivation’ Actually Looks Like
We’ve all heard the writing advice that you can’t rely on motivation to get you through writing a book, sometimes you need to force yourself to do it and make a habit of it. And a lot of us will scoff at that or find it too restrictive or boring, it leaves us feeling like it’s a chore rather than a fun activity
As someone who only worked out what people actually mean by it recently, let me explain my take on it
You’re not always going to be inspired to write, you’re not always going to be motivated to write, but if you only write when you’re motivated it’s gonna take a crap ton of time - and writing anything to completion already takes donkey’s years as it is. Forming a habit is going to enable you to write consistently, and thus even unmotivated or uninspired progress is still made. Hence, sometimes you have to force yourself to write
But writing too much will make that habit impossible, or at least it becomes a chore and not a fun activity. You need to give yourself realistic goals to meet, even if it’s only something small. Write for ten minutes a day, write 500 words every week, any snail’s pace progress regardless of how insignificant it may seem. Something small enough that it doesn’t drain you but frequent enough that there’s still a habit being formed, there’s still consistency to it
I used to only write when I was inspired and motivated and could get myself to start writing, and even then the word count would be inconsistent. It could be weeks or even months between proper writing sessions. But now that I have a baseline for productivity, I have a baseline for consistent progress. And I’m only on 1K words a week! And if that doesn’t work, you can do less, or go by time spent writing if that’s a better metric for your writing style!
There’s no such thing as not enough progress when it comes to forming a consistent habit; if you can get at least one word per deadline (day, week, whatever) then that still counts as consistent progress
What everyone else seems to think of is “You must get this big amount of words written daily, think of it as eternal NaNoWriMo, if you miss even one day you’re a failure and you’ll never get the book done, SUFFER FOR YOUR ART!”
Just do what’s comfortable and it’ll be fine, no worries

how to boost your creativity
*ੈ✩‧₊˚ commit to creativity: set aside regular time to engage in creative activities. whether it’s painting, writing, or brainstorming, consistency is key.

rock climbing
hey there! welcome back to the cafe!
i heard that you picked rock climbing from our menu! that's great! let’s chat about why rock climbing is an awesome hobby. 🧗‍♂️
rock climbing is fantastic for both your body and mind. it builds strength, endurance, and flexibility, while also boosting your problem-solving skills and mental focus. plus, it’s a great way to connect with nature and meet new people who share your passion for adventure.
ready to start climbing? here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get going:
find a climbing gym: start with indoor climbing to learn the basics in a controlled environment. many gyms offer beginner classes and have all the gear you need.
get the right gear: you’ll need climbing shoes, a harness, a chalk bag, and a belay device. most gyms rent these out, so you can try before you buy.
learn the basics: take a beginner’s class to learn essential techniques like belaying, knot tying, and basic climbing moves.
practice bouldering: bouldering is climbing without ropes on shorter walls. it’s a great way to build strength and technique.
try top-rope climbing: once you’re comfortable with bouldering, move on to top-rope climbing, where you’re secured by a rope from above.
join a climbing community: connect with other climbers to learn from their experiences and find climbing partners.
explore outdoor climbing: when you’re ready, take your skills outdoors. always go with experienced climbers and follow safety guidelines.
here are a couple of youtube videos to help you get started:

happy climbing! comment what type of climbing are you most excited to try? 🌟

How do you draw so frequently???
I'm starting to think I probably have some passive ADHD so I end up always admiring ppl who can just constantly do stuff, it's like a dream, your art is also like a dream, Vasco is also a sweet dream, I really like Vasco, he looks really sweet
I set aside a little bit of time every evening just to draw, it's become almost like a wind down routine for me. It helps if I don't treat it as serious 100% effort hard mode art time, I usually multitask a little on the side, watch a movie or take breaks to do little chores around the house and art just sort of happens if it happens. Lately I've been making mostly personal low pressure feel-good pieces.
