AI art and what it means for writers

AsideMarch 24, 2023March 23, 2023 Athousandbitsofpaper8 Comments

Yesterday I found an AI art generative programme. Joanna Penn (the creative penn podcast) talked this week about how she is obsessed with hers and is using it for all things. It is inspiring and fun to run her characters and scenes through the software to see what they came up with as an image. […]

Stacks and stacks

AsideMarch 23, 2023March 22, 2023 Athousandbitsofpaper11 Comments

I am out of pretty words My brain cells are fried I’ve been writing for days Typing for miles Traipsing up and down the hills of my mind Pulling stories out of thin air Turning them into words I breath in And out Push my chair back And stare at the wall How peaceful it […]

Mending old wounds

AsideMarch 9, 2023March 9, 2023 AthousandbitsofpaperLeave a comment

My shadow is stitched to my foot All that is black and self defeating All the rot Follows me I could cut it off, but then I would never know where it is hiding It could spring from the trees on a perfect summers evening And ambush my feelings Bring me low A lightening blow […]

Is the glass dark? Or is it just perhaps a little smudged..

AsideFebruary 10, 2023February 9, 2023 Athousandbitsofpaper13 Comments

The world tilts up The world tilts down The world spins, taking me with it and how could I ever think I could make everything still even for a minute When the clock keeps ticking *Our body chemistry controls so much of what and how we think. I was reminded of this last night, when […]

Look up!

AsideFebruary 8, 2023February 7, 2023 Athousandbitsofpaper12 Comments

When we are in thought we look down When thought is in us we look up Where do thoughts and ideas come from? Why don’t we act on them with alacrity? Is it that old humbug fear of scarcity? And if we do act upon them Does the universe, rejoicing in the fact it got […]

The Karma of Blogging

AsideNovember 19, 2022November 17, 2022 Athousandbitsofpaper24 Comments

I used to think of karma as a result, a consequence, a punishment. Which it is, just not in the way that I think many of us imagine it to be. We don’t cause karma to come crashing down on us. We live within our karma. Like a pig wallows in mud, we are humans […]

Sparks of Brilliance- Creating from an Inspired Place

AsideNovember 16, 2022November 16, 2022 Athousandbitsofpaper34 Comments

How do we stay consistently inspired, creating and honing our craft and showing up for ourselves day after day? On the weekend, I looked back at times within this blog, within my life, when stopping creating was more of a problem than the process of finding something to create. I read old posts and thought, […]

Seashells

AsideNovember 13, 2022November 12, 2022 Athousandbitsofpaper31 Comments

How do you feel? I shall close my eyes and listen deeply to the ocean as it fills me How do you feel? I cup my hands around the shell Hear the vibration of the tide as it swells And rolls How do you feel? And it tells me I don’t know I have forgotten […]

Herding Instincts – why we fear sticking out (or up) and how to get over ourselves (and why we really should)

AsideMarch 29, 2022March 28, 2022 Athousandbitsofpaper15 Comments

If I paint by numbers I am assured of a certain picture The outline is the same as the image on the box and all I have to do is simply choose colours one by one Mechanically completing a version that someone else created And I can say I painted Well done! Faithfully following the […]

For this moment

AsideDecember 3, 2021December 3, 2021 Athousandbitsofpaper4 Comments

The rain asked the trees to bloom They complied, overflowing, their flowers fell to the ground Carpets of purple Carpets of yellow Carpets of white Nature is so generous at times That we forgive The scorching summer The freezing gale The bitter breath of winter breathing down our necks As faithful as hounds, we forget […]
