I'm old. If you're not, listen to this. Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder. Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever. It's literally never been more important.

Good advice on the importance of randomness in spurring the creative process. Some of my short stories have happened from completely random and often inane moments.

When it comes to #labour principles I think Glenn from The Thick of It puts it best. "over the past two years you've bent like a human fucking palm tree" #refugeeswelcome #starmer #immigration youtu.be/xM8DfCgVWx8?...

"She’s hit by a soft breeze, the earthy smell of roots. She hobbles over to the little square patch of grass, flings her slippers to one side and spreads her grey toes into the earth, stands a while rooted." #amwriting #WIPsnips #WritingCommunity #WriteSky
