I have an October spark, but she is frustrated! (I have all these ideas while I’m around running errands and no time to actually sit down and explore them practically!) But I know the time will come eventually.

That's so frustrating! Have you tried sending yourself voice notes? I do that sometimes when I'm walking my dog, which is a very inconvenient time to have a brilliant idea.

I just signed up for this Creative Sprint:https://www.anotherlimitedrebellion.com/about-creative-sprint?goal=0_17fb8ba44e-861717bb26-215312568&mc_cid=861717bb26&mc_eid=64cbe64be5

You get a prompt by email everyday and the idea is to make something in response quickly and without overthinking. I did it last year- definitely a good October spark!

Love the idea of an October Spark 🔥 and will be keeping it in mind as I get back into a project that has been dormant for a while. I loved Deadloch - so much glorious swearing! Jx

Love to see more Deadloch fans!

And yes, October is the perfect month to awaken a sleeping beast from its slumber! Let's do it!

I am here for the October Spark! I'm in the throws of research for my capstone project (the end is near!) and this is just the kind of motivation I need to get over the next hump!
