A friend reached out to me with some encouraging feedback on my podcast and as I was on a walk, at a spot near the river ( see picture ) where I've recorded several episodes, I decided to record a new episode, while text chatting with him, thereby adding some sort of LIVE element.

Today, while on a walk, I talk about it being okay to not create, at times, about the importance of not forcing the creative process ( for me ). I also share about having done a similar thing, yesterday, while being on a 'Co-Creation' video call with three fellow creators. The four of us shared stories about our creative process, talked about art and life and so much more. And, all the while, they created and I did not create anything ;>)

but it led to some new ideas.

This is yet another insight in my unpredictable and always (im)perfectly chaotic creative process and another update on the progress I'm making with my book 'Hypersensitivosaurus and Cold Turkey', a book that I aim to 'finish' in the next 7 days for my mom's 70th birthday.

It would be awesome if you'd support me on my neverending and predictably impredictable, creative journey.

You can buy me a symbolical 'coffee' on my Ko-Fi page https://ko-fi.com/hypersensitivosaurus

I also share my creative process ( in text and visuals ) on my blog: https://peakd.com/@vincentnijman/posts

Three days ago, after falling sick, I decided to quit coffee ( not for the first time ).

And, being the sensitive creature that I am, I went through some serious withdrawal symptoms. A similar situation, two and a half years ago, made me invent a character called 'Cold Turkey', who became one of the main characters in my Hypersensitivosaurus stories and, later, the co star of the upcoming 'Hypersensitivosaurus and Cold Turkey'. Today I finally felt quite a lot better and that led to this free flow podcast where I don't talk much about the creative process at all but more about the 'Life of ( the inspiration behind ) Hypersensitivosaurus' aka me ;<)

If you like to read too and you aren't already following my blog, here's a that I wrote at the end of 2021 with more info on the 'Cold Turkey' character and some links to previous write ups: https://peakd.com/@vincentnijman/how-to--not--write-a-book-the-story-behind-hypersensitivosaurus-part-1-cold-turkey
