What Does Perdy Do When She Doesn't Feel Like Writing Stories?

Well, darling, I would usually read true British classics, like Narnia or Thomas or Terry Pratchett, or read about elegant things and aesthetics on my fancy red laptop or my white iBone with black spots if I'm out and about. And when I'm feeling sneakily childish, I would read various adaptations of Disney's 101 Dalmatians in storybook form (except 101 Dalmatians II), as well as do various Disney sticker and activity books with the dalmatians and various other dog characters featured in them.

An Interview With Perdy

Hello, Perdy. Thanks for coming to talk to us today. So you're saying your friend is suffering from creative brain fog, is that fair to say, and if so, what advice would you give her?

Of course, darling, I've seen her suffer with creative brain fog that stops her from writing so many good natured stories. It makes my spots want to fall off. No one groan loudly, please, my spots will literally fall off if I hear about brain fog. It seems like she's uninspired. I heard her tell me her brain is getting heavier and shrouded in a stupendously black fog that's raining ink.

Now, I've told her that in order to find her inspiration and not worry about writing, she must go out and look for some things in nature that may give her inspiration - like that big bear paw when she was walking with her foster owner, for instance. It nearly gave her inspiration to do a poem about a giant bear in Scotland - which she refused to do because of her mental health issues which resulted in her going to therapy. So, I'd advise her to use her eyes, ears and maybe her nose to smell, see and hear some inspiration, be it music, a nice smell or a wonderful sight that may inspire her to do stories - apart from favourite cartoons of course. And the best piece of advice I'd give her is:

"YOU MUST NOT WORRY!"

BOOM! *Building explodes*

*Producers and interviewers cough from the smoke*

Oh dear, I seem to have done a whoopsy there. Can I have a chocolate biscuit and a mug of hot cocoa now?

Okay, fine. Tea break!

A Word Of Advice From Simba

If you've just woken up from a nap and don't know what to have for lunch - burgers would probably make a good breakfast anyway - I think cornflakes would be a best suited option. They're so nutritious and full of sunshine.

Back in my day, Amber and I used to love watching that one commercial featuring that Foghorn Leghorn lookalike named Cornelius Rooster. One time when I was watching it, I told her about the Lion Calendar (much like the Mayan Calendar, but for lions) that we used to have in my kingdom before it got destroyed by the turtle army. One part of the calendar suggests that every lion eats cornflakes for breakfast every morning. It boosts their strengths, makes their roars even louder and makes their teeth sparkle. Oh, and did I mention? It also makes their fur nice and soft.

So a nice bowl of cornflakes won't do any harm to try during lunch time. I read once in a book that you should have cornflakes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. That irresistibly crunchy taste...golden corn...oh my goodness, the joy!

So, er.....why can't everything be as simple as Kellogg's Cornflakes?
