Bølla
«Den finner i likhet med de to første bøkene sted i Øyerstad -men et mer lavmælt Øyerstad denne gangen. En litt dunklere plass, hvor det er lenger mellom smilene og latteren.

Historien som finner sted her er mer psykologisk bygd opp denne gangen, den utforsker både verden rundt oss og verden inni oss på en effektiv og overraskende måte.»

The Bully
“Like the first two books, this one is set in Øyerstad—but a more subdued Øyerstad this time. A slightly darker place, where smiles and laughter are fewer and farther between.

The story that unfolds here is more psychologically constructed this time; it explores both the world around us and the world within us in an effective and surprising way.”

Waiting for the “muse” to be creative is just an e Waiting for the “muse” to be creative is just an excuse...

You can plan for creativity, all you need is...

1. PLACE:
- Create a space for exploring new ideas
- Find a specific spot: a desk, a room, a corner of your home office... The garage?
- Your brain will start to recognise it as your creative space, and it will be triggered as you enter

2. TIME:
- Put it on your calendar (yes, you can schedule creativity)
- Make time for experimentation
- Try scheduling the same time every day and make it a habit

3. TIME (yes, again):
- Set aside enough time
- Don’t expect too much too soon
- Value experimentation over immediate success
- Give it enough space—an hour a day? More? Or even 10 minutes—it’s better than nothing

4. CONFIDENCE:
- Mistakes are part of the process—learning opportunities, not failures
- New ideas will lead to bad ideas and failed experiments. That’s the point. Just keep at it
- Celebrate bad ideas, they might just evolve into something magical

5, HUMOR:
- Don’t take it so f*cking seriously.
- Reduce the fear of failure by bringing play into the process
- Bring in play and acceptance—put your brain in open mode.

Don't believe me? Just ask @johncleeseofficial and check out his book on creativity.
To be creative you need: Expertise is what you kn To be creative you need:

Expertise is what you know. It is the knowledge, experience, and skills you build over time in a certain field. The more you know, the more material your mind has to work with.

Creative thinking skills are how you think. It is the ability to look at problems differently, make new connections, and challenge the usual way of doing things.
Motivation is the drive to actually do the work. It is the curiosity, passion, and persistence that push you to keep going.

I have worked as a Creative Director and Art Director for almost twenty years?

I have studied the psychology of creativity with great curiosity and have learned a great deal from working with a lot of different people, some who believe they are creative geniuses, and some who believe they are just about as creative as a rock.

Everyone is creative. Creativity is a skill that can be learned by anyone.
Creativity comes from the Latin word creare, meani Creativity comes from the Latin word creare, meaning “to create.” So, creativity is about creating something.

Creativity is also said to be 1% idea and 99% hard work. That’s why so many people fail at actually creating something.

We all know this guy with all the ideas, right? But he never really seems to get anything done. Is that creativity? I’d say no.
To be truly creative, you need grit. You need to get it done, no matter what.

This is her review of A Battle Against Demons:

"En Kamp Mot Demoner / A Battle Against Demons by Kjell-Vidar Åhman Teig

A Battle Against Demons is packed with 80s/90s nostalgia, dives into trauma and grief, and is the kind of story that will make you laugh, cry and shiver.

It also has that feeling from when you were a kid — that exciting but kinda scary feeling of going to places you probably shouldn’t. Like the “haunted” house me and my friends used to visit when we were kids.

If you’ve read the author’s previous book, 3 Stones for The Nixie (and if you haven’t, what are you waiting for?), familiar characters return, and the story is told through multiple POVs. The back and forth between POVs can feel a bit confusing at first, but stick with it because everything comes together nicely in the end.
A fun, eerie read. Highly recommend!

Tusen takk, Kjell-Vidar! Gleder meg til å dra tilbake til Øyerstad."

Creative tips: An idea is simply two or more exis Creative tips:

An idea is simply two or more existing thoughts combined in a new way. A thought or idea that has been thought before, connected with another thought or idea that has also existed before. Nothing is original, and ideas do not appear in a vacuum out of nothing. New ideas are simply old ideas put together in a different way.

Coming up with new ideas is the ability to see new connections and combine familiar things into something different.

Fact: I never really have writer’s block. I don’t believe in it at all, until my cat crashes onto my keyboard and refuses to move. I guess she proves me wrong. 🙂
