Reading the first story of my first book plus another li'l update on my creative process


It's time to put back the fun into the creative process
to stop being the wise old adult all the time
to reclaim the kid inside of me ( and us )
and so much more

To really feel ALIVE!

I picture myself reading my own stories, from my book(s), intercut with shots of my hands working on illustrations ( drawing, painting and lino carving, inking ) and then, sharing this process on the blockchain.

The videos will last as long at it takes me to read my story or not ( I won't make any rules and if I would, I aim as break as many of them as I can, every single time )

I also see myself talking to fellow creatives and friends on the creative process while they either work on their craft or show it in any way possible ( reading fragments from their finished or unfinished books, playing the guitar or any other instrument, singing, rapping, beatboxing, painting, illustrating, dancing, juggling, clowning* and so on and so forth ).
I am done with just sharing my own creative process ( although I will keep doing that too ), it's time to spread the love to fellow creatives and co-creators in a more active way.

THE TIME IS NOW.

And then I went on a walk and read my first story, afterward and made this rough cut, that is also kind of meant as a teaser to get you interested in my book ( if you weren's already one of my fan boys or fan girls ).

I decided that I want to give away ( as much of ) my first book as much as possible, even though a bunch of you already told me that they want to buy it from me for the amazing price of 22 ( my favorite number ) Hive or HBD.

TO BE CONVINUED...


*Talking about clowning. I discovered a very enjoyable series, a month or so ago on exactly that subject. It's called 'Baskets' and tells the story of Chip Baskets ( aka Baskets the clown ) and his polar opposite, his ( not so ) identical twin brother, Dale. Both brothers are played by the same actor, Zach Galifianakis, who had his breakthrough in The Hangover ( 2009 ), a movie that I forgot soon after I watched it in cinema.

Chip and Dale ( get the pun? )

They also have two DJ-ing ( adopted? ) identical twin brothers who basically live their own lives - while the other twins ( Chip and Dale ) find themselves stuck at their mother's house, over and over again, eventhough they are in their mid 40s. Big momma ( hen ) is played by the amazing comedian Louis C.K., who passed away at the start of this year, 2022. And then there's the very dry ( funny in her own way ) sidekick, Martha, played by Martha Stewart, as well as some other more or less likeable characters. I think it helped that I didn't know any of the cast members, when I started watching this. Aside from that it's just very funny, an awesome blend of comedy and drama, just how I like it with pretty strong acting.
