What gets you into a creative mood? Are you reading anything over quarantine? Are you looking for something to read? What character dynamics do you best enjoy in stories and media? If you want, share something creative with us! As always, thanks in advance for your responses!
Beauty usually gets me in a creative mood, for example seeing something vibrant or something melancholic I really want to put into words. Little snippets of reality, captured and drawn with words. :)
I've actually not been reading much - too much academic reading at work. I've been nursing the first Witcher book for a while. I like it, but I hit a story that I had somehow read elsewhere years ago, so my interest dissipated (it was a good story, but not the kind I want to read twice). I recently bought Howl's Moving Castle - I've seen the movie and I wonder whether I'd understands its symbolism better if I also read the book.
What character dynamics.... god, so many. I like the strong, mythical, dutiful-but-dark, honourable-but-misunderstood characters. The anti-hero, the god of assassins with heart of gold, that kind of thing. In terms of dynamics between characters, I like the friends/lovers united by the same cause, the ones driven by shared responsibility saving humanity and so on, also the wise-ass characters cracking jokes and simultaneously creating and dissolving tension with their humour and gentle asswholery.
Something creative... I don't have anything of my own right now, but I can share that I started writing a tiny snipet of a novel. :) It's fantasy/sci-fi (my usual) and it starts with a beautiful, optimistic picture of a beautiful, optimistic world. Would that idyllic peace change? Both you and I are yet to find out. :)
