Ideas come to me at any moment! And they can take any form: a snatch of melody; a few poetic words that could serve well when put into the context of another, larger incomplete piece; lyrics that say something in exactly the right way – that I had previously struggled to express; a sudden humourous phrase or verse that appears out of nowhere, and makes me smile.
Sometimes, I have been known to delve into other, rarer, creative areas:
There is the still-to-be-completed 23 chapters of a children’s novel, which might make an author out of me yet! Or my compulsion to create cartoons – especially politic satire! All that is needed now is the ability to draw those splendid imaginings myself! I may eventually owe a debt of gratitude to AI!
Elements of a new game idea are ever-present, so that whenever an immediately insurmountable problem appears, the solution – or an alternative idea – can present itself at unexpected moments. There is no endpoint to the imaginings!
And finally, there is photography! The advent of digital photography was my excuse to go out and capture the images I had always dreamed of taking. Again, the internet has played a huge role in enabling these dreams to become reality!
