kim is the brilliant mind behind the blog ice age heat wave. this month's feature was based on my own observations about the blog's interesting life-inspired stories, accompanied with picture-esque pictures that somehow complement the whole entry.
this was the story i first read the first time i visited her blog. i'm legally amazed since then. i keep tracks of every of her new entries, waiting on what intrigues up next. alright, i'm sure now you're all already curious about her, and where she gets those creativity, yes?
here's my interview with her. :)
where do your inspirations come from?
i get inspiration from my own life, and all the crazy people that inhabit it. and from great writers i admire. i also get inspiration from music and movies. and stories i read in newspapers. crimes.
in what kind of moments you’re usually fully inspired, and vice versa; what kind of moments that you usually find it hard to get inspired?
i feel inspired late and night and when i travel to new places or when i am driving through the desert. and when my heart is broken. lucky for me it almost always is. i am usually not inspired (to write) in the morning or even the daytime. and never at school, when i was in school.
who are your favorite writers?
my all time favorite writer just died, and that's j.d salinger. i also like the japanese writer haruki murakami. and i love this illustrated novel by lynda barry called "cruddy." and i like some classics, like f. scott fitzgerald and oscar wilde.
from them, who do you like best/ find the most inspiring?
i would have to say j.d. salinger.
how does s/he affect your writing style today?
i always write in first person. or almost always.
any tips for our blogger friends who has passion for writing, or wants to kick-start writing?
just do it. you can't wait for inspiration. you just have to force your fingers to move across the keyboard even if nothing good comes out. eventually a little piece of beauty will come. hold on to that, expand on it.
more about kim, you can visit her blog or find her on facebook.
to everyone:
i've planned to make a monthly blog feature, starting this month. starting next month, all features will be posted right on the final date of the month. featured blogs will be chosen from blogs i like, or blogs of your suggestions. you can suggest me your favorite blogs here. blogs can be of varied themes, they don't have to be fashion or fashion-related blogs. :)
