A-ha! I see you're overstimulated after a bad night of crying and watching Netflix. Well, that's going to stop! If you feel like you're a bad storywriter and are trying to think up a plot for your stories, here are 10 things that'll help you have a day off.
10.Don't watch Netflix if you're overstimulated (remember Cocomelon?). Try watching slow paced shows on Amazon Prime and Disney+ instead. Wallace & Gromit, The Many Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh, The Book Of Pooh, Zenimation and Earth Moods are all top of my list.
9.Get out a mug of Galaxy hot chocolate and soothe your soul with a sip of gentleness and kindness.
8.Draw a lovely picture with crayons, felt tips and pencils and colour it in.
7.Don't try to plan for tomorrow. Save your plans for tomorrow, and do it tomorrow.
6.Have a little snack at dinner to keep your strength up - whether it's the invincible sausage rolls, a plateful of turkey dinosaurs or a nice recharging slice of buttered toast with some fresh milk. Mmmmmmm!
5.Listen to the music you love, whether it's from Now, Ministry Of Sound or Putumayo. If you're REALLY overstimulated, listen to Latin Dreamland or African Yoga, or ask Z to play you some lullabies.
4.Leave writing and ideas until you find a plot. Remember, no talking about it or else an anvil of bad luck will fall on your head!
3.Take a moment to look out the window. Describe in great detail what you can see, smell, hear and feel no matter which place you're in.
2.Do some doodling. I usually do doodling in my Odd1sOut, Claude or Chris Riddell books. Dog-eared Jamirouquai hats, anyone?
