How do your reads influence you in your creative journey?

I do a lot of creative stuff, and here are all of the things I made, inspired by books!🥰 📚Writing: I am working on a soft scifi/horror novel, and it wad inspired by a lot of things I've read, mainly "Az utolsó emberig" by Zoltán Benyák, "Arc of a Scythe trilogy" by Neil Shusterman, "The Mirror Visitor quartet" by Christelle Dabos and the "Evillious Chronicles light novels" by mothy/Akuno-p. ✏️Poetry: I have to admit, I don't read eough poetry, but I still adore Attila József and Miklós Radnóti and they inspire me a lot! 🎨Art: I mostly draw characters from my stories, but I still make a great deal of fanart for my favourite reads, and also the stuff we read in literature class. My latest fanarts were little character portraits from Anyegin by Puskin. 🧸Crochet and sewing: I love makig little fantasy creatures! I also ended up accidentally sewing a cat that resembles that one button eyes creature from Coraline (never read it lol). 🌄Photgrapy: I only began taking photos not so long ago, but I really wanna take pictures with dystopian vibes! 📔Bookbinding: I printed out the entire fantranslation of the first Evillious book, sewn and binded it! I just really wanted to hold it in my hands. 📿Jewlery making: I made some little fantasy mushroom themed earrings out of air dry putty!

If anyone wants pics of them Ill try to add them in a reply!

Sooo, what kinda creative stuff do you do?

I'm an indie audio producer from the UK. I created a dark and immersive horror audio series which I'm giving away for free for spooky season. Anyone fancy a listen to something new, for free, and giving an independent creator a little boost! 😃

EDIT: I'm just gonna put it here in case you do want to listen. Just head to www.albionbyrd.com and enter the code CONRAD for the complete full series for free.

HELLO It’s time for Who’s Who Wednesday where every Wednesday we introduce ourselves and make new friends. This is part 3.

If you participated in any of the times before, you don’t have to introduce yourself again but you can share some different facts about you, an opinion you have, or how your week is going.

If you’re new, introduce yourself!

I’ll go first.

My name is JadeLovesBooks.

I am very very very very type B personality yet for the most part everything seems to work out. I’ve never read Harry Potter or seen the movies and have zero interest in doing so I am 8 years sober I don’t care about Taylor swift (I’m sorry)

hi friends, i'd love to read books with a corruption trope, any recommendations?

I just finished The Laws of The Skies by Grégoire Courtois and this might have been the most miserable reading experience I've had this year. Barely 150 pages but the book is so abysmally bad that it took me 15 days to "finish" it, and that is when I almost had to skim through the final chapter because I couldn't stand the writing.

Do all of you ever experience the same thing too? The book doesn't necessarily has to be bad, I was reading Less by Andrew Sean Greer last year which almost made my habit of reading go away for a good 2 months, but some books possess this power to make you hate reading.

So someone shared this link And it lets you upload photos and automatically created the syntax for markdown to share images. So I thought it would be fun to share photos of pets and people could give book recommendations based on the image (you could also give your own rec)

So to start this is one of my pets, mango. And I would recommend the wild huntress by lloyd-jones because there is a cat that I fancast as mango 😂
