Andersen-Lundbywas born on 16th December, 1841 in Lundby, a town near Aalborg in Denmark. In 1861 the artist went to Copenhagen to pursue his artistic career. He stayed there for several years living within the artistic community. Andersen-Lundby moved to Munich in 1876 where he exhibited his works virtually every year. For the most part the artist painted winter landscapes often depicting late afternoon sunshine or dusk. His works are very atmospheric and his technique became very impressionistic towards the latter part of his life.
Anonymous asked: do you have any advice/links for someone trying to write through major depression or other mental illness? writing is the only ive ever been good at & all ive ever wanted to do but i havent been able to write a single word in well over a year and im starting to lose hope that i ever will again. its like my motivation and creativity have just up and evaporated and im not sure how much longer i can keep praying for rain
But I think the problem here might be that you are praying for the rain. Waiting and wishing the motivation and creativity will come is a viable strategy when you’re young, mentally healthy, and have boundless time and energy, but after that point, it will never truly work. It’s really hard to move forward from this, because your brain will tell you that if you have no inspiration, that you’re failing, that your words aren’t good enough, that you should stop.
Except your brain lies, trying to make up for the fact that it doesn’t (yet) know how to write if it can’t write the way it used to.
Professional writers don’t write good, creative words. They write terrible, awful words, often words they hate. Sometimes they write them slowly and sometimes they write them knowing they’ll throw them all out in the end. But they write them anyways.
So my advice is this: Don’t pray for rain. Write a desert.
Write the most terrible, horrible, awful sentence you can think of.
“She ran super fast up that big fat hill and it hurt.”
Now you have a sentence. It’s a terrible, horrible, awful sentence, but it’s there, and it’s yours, and you can fix it later.
Then you write another sentence just as awful.
You don’t write them for long. Maybe the first day you challenge yourself to write ten sentences. Ten sentences every day, five days a week. Then you write twenty. And then thirty.
The more you write, the more your brain forgets that it doesn’t know how to write without inspiration, and figures out that all the skill and knowledge and ability is still there, inside you.
You write much better, stronger words (sometimes), though you don’t always know it until you reread them.
You set small, reasonable goals, and work your way to bigger ones.
You take breaks (and plan breaks into your goal setting.)
You reward yourself when you hit those small, reasonable goals.
You don’t care that your words are terrible, horrible, awful words because that means you’re in league with the most genius writers of all time.
You’ll look back and find that as you wrote that desert, the storm blew up behind you.
Rain doesn’t bring writing. Writing brings the rain.
One of my favorite character in the latest god of war.
Her past, her character, her lost and sorrow are really interesting. Hope to see her more in the next installment and truly cannot wait to see her in her Valkyrie armor, so this is just my take on it. 3D helmet is made by my friend, Ady Martino, exceptionally awesome guy.
Hope you like it and I will patiently waiting for new game +
Pharaoh Ramses II’s Egyptian passport, issued in 1976 for passage to France nearly three millennia after his death.
In order to leave the country, Egypt required anyone leaving the country, living or dead, to have the proper papers. Seemingly the first mummy to receive one, Ramses had his occupation listed as “King (deceased).”

First of all, it’s not nice to take pictures without sourcing them to the photographer. Which is doubly important because if you had you would have found the rest of Paul Wiggin’s photos of this sumatran tiger cub from the Chester Zoo and and used this one instead, which is objectively 10x better in every way
