Thursday’s prompt from Shimelle was:What do you do when don’t feel
very creative or feel like you’ve hit a
creative block? Share a few tips that help you get back to yourself.



Honestly, I think the best thing is to walk away. Wait until the next
wave of creativity comes and don’t force yourself. Or just to play with
no plan in mind and see what happens. In the ideal world of no
deadlines, I think that’s the best thing to do. Give yourself permission
to rest. Relax. Rejuvenate. If only I took my own advice.

Wednesday’s prompt from Shimelle was: Who was your personal favourite
teeny-bopper pin-up? Share a story
about that dreamboat or another happy teenage memory with your readers.

This one didn’t make me think a long while. I didn’t even have one
poster in my room as a teenager. I have never been that type of girl. I
think that’s one of the reasons I was so miserable in Turkey. I just
didn’t fit into the tiny community I was stuck with. I also don’t really
equate teenage with fun. Then again, I did have a few good, solid
friends. One of whom I will be talking about in this week’s creative therapy piece.
The few friends I did have, I still cherish wholeheartedly.

Today’s post from Shimelle is: What’s your favourite reading
material? Like the kind of favourite that you would take it to read if
you had to cut off the rest of the world for years and years?

This one is easy for me. Fiction. I love reading fiction. Just about any
mainstream fiction will do. I don’t read genres that often so no
fantasy, romance, or horror. Rarely science fiction or mystery. No
historical fiction. But I will pick a good story over just about
anything else. My requirements for locations where I am willing to live
depend on where Amazon delivers.


I am constantly looking for new books and new authors. Not new, per se,
but new to me. Any suggestions?
