It’s time to get your mental corn popping, that is, to present you with some interesting stuff in the hope that the resulting creative connections will lead to your next awesome project! Yup, that’s what thoughty Thursday’s all about.

Just so you’ll have this straight, Tipsday is for writing-related finds and Thoughty Thursday will be for other interesting stuff.

Occasionally, there might be a music or other fun video in there, ‘cause you know, we all love the YouTube 😉
