Thanks to #calgaryexpo2023 we met so many wonderful people today! ❤️ my dreams literally came true this evening!

I have hardly ever imagined that I would be able to stand near Bonnie Wright or Andy Serkis. Ever. And more than that – to share it with my family. Amazing evening, amazing people.

Thank you Calgary for this possibility!

Today was a great day indeed. Let’s hope for more coming!

P.S. We’ve also met so many nice people cosplaying. Among them I want to highlight Kratos and Hagrid, that was awesome to take a pic with them!

Reading for writing

Discovered a couple of books that keep helping me with building the story plot. Definitely recommend if you are a new to story storucture and character’s build up.

  • Katie Marie (KM) Wayland: Architecture of the plot. How to Create a Memorable Story 
  • Blake Snyder: Save the Cat!: The Last Book on Screenwriting You’ll Ever Need
  • Jessica Brody: Save the Cat! Writes a novel

and a cutiepie that MidJourney generated for me recently:

Working routine

Writing day after day creates a good habit of consistent writing. But also, at some point you might feel bumping into a wall. That is where you stuck in routine.

I tried different ways of avoiding that point. But the truth is – the only way not to get there – make writing not 100% routine. Always try something new, look for something new, wonder, dream.

And give yourself some rest. Don’t let guilt overwhelm you. You deserve this rest as well as you deserve to write, create, express yourself.

It works not only in terms of writing. But also in terms of life.
