Welcome to my blog post
Welcome to my blog, where I share insights into my creative process, from idea generation and brainstorming to project realization. I'll also delve into topics such as fostering creativity, critical thinking, and the impact of the evolving technology landscape.
As a child, allegories and fairytales played an essential role, inspiring me to create a map to navigate different situations and life experiences. I have always been fascinated by stories' subtle and subconscious power to convey narratives that speak to our subconscious minds and paint an understanding of valuable concepts that someone can only live through experience or imparted through stories.
Nature has always been a significant source of inspiration for me, and I find renewal and inspiration for allegories within the themes in the natural world. Many of my stories are inspired by nature, and in particular, my new illustrated storybook, "A Journey to Friendship," is about an unlikely friendship between a hawk and a horse from very different niches. The natural world inspires this story and the desire to create a narrative for young readers on the value of collaborative leadership.
My creative process usually starts with a spark of inspiration, which can come from anywhere. Sometimes, it's a dream, a conversation, being in nature, or an event that triggers an idea. Once I have an idea, I usually spend some time brainstorming and fleshing out the concept in a sketchbook. I ask myself questions like, "What themes do I want to explore?" and "Why is the story worth telling?"
Once I have a solid idea, I start writing. The story takes on a life of its own as I write, and I allow it to evolve and change as needed. I stay open to new ideas and inspiration, even if it takes me in a direction I hadn't initially planned. The same principle applies to whatever creative action I am involved in, from sculpting to cooking.
I pay close attention to the characters and world I create as I write. I want the characters to be relatable and to have depth, even if they are animals or creatures that don't exist in the real world. I also pay close attention to world-building, ensuring that it is consistent and believable.
In conclusion, writing stories is a passion that has been with me since childhood. As I have grown and developed as a writer, I have come to appreciate the power of storytelling and the role that it can play in our lives. This glimpse behind the scenes has given you insight into my creative process and the inspiration behind my work. Thank you for reading!
