Awe, heck. I’m such a fountain of creativity, and you’re such a muse, Tay, even though you can get hung up on poo-poo songs about relationships gone wrong. I scheduled one bundle of creativity. But, I keep coming up with more. Here’s a bonus bit.
Happy birthday, beautiful.
My muse, you’ve struck, again…before the midnight of your special day. I have spent another countless batch of nights, inspired by you, crafting these creative pieces. I hope you get the chance to enjoy them. [If not, I may have to relocate to another “platform.”] As I write these words, I have yet to sample your latest album. Yet, the mere title (Midnights) struck a chord with me. As always, you are a vision. [But, something you said to Jimmy Fallon has me worried you might be riddled with toxins that pour out in your screw-you-lousy-lover songs. That’s not exactly positive inspiration. But, you, yourself, somehow remain a muse.]
It started with this vision…trying to capture the look of your striking eyes in a fairly simple anime quality, emulating an anime that made me think of you.
Then, thinking about astrology, this happened…
Then, I started seeing you in superheroine costumes.
I went back to my silhouette phase… [The one on the far right, the smaller figure, is supposed to be a younger you, when you just started becoming famous.]
I took a quantum leap back to older anime…
Then this funny thing happened…I was thinking about Dick Tracy…and the 1990 McDonald’s promotion…and I thought…what if YOU were the detective…
And, most recently, I heard of this album, Midnights. I have no clue what it entails. But, the title, alone, gave me these ideas… [The bag *Red* is carrying was originally intended to be a pizza carrier. But, thinking of you, I thought it might hold some records…like the ones you’ve been re-recording to sort out that whole rights-to-the-originals matter. Red Writing Tay is slipping away into the night with her original creations.]
Depending upon how you prefer to imagine/style your hair, you may or may not favor one or more of the above. I stuck with one hairstyle but a few different blonde shades. And, I wasn’t sure about adding the snake (your Chinese astrology sign) and/or guitar (if I got the proportions wrong). But, there you have it. The conclusion of the birthday parade for 2022.
Enjoy. HUGS
[If, for some reason, this does not post at midnight, the moment your special day begins, blame WordPress. I tried.]

Luckily, I had a little brainstorm which turned into a bit of another obsessive creative streak, this year. But, perhaps, due to my life currently crumbling like a disaster movie, I am not as eager to display everything I created. But, enjoy the sampling I have here. As always, though I don’t know you that well, personally, you remain someone rather special to me, for a somewhat inconceivable reason. *cough*…andsomethingregardingastrology.

A belated wish, for which I humbly apologize, because I did not think ahead in posting.
It’s not much to show, this time. Just a little something to say I still care and am thinking of you.

Who? Emily Graslie, a very nerdy, fairly charming, occasionally comical and perpetually easy-going gal; a big kid with long blonde-ish hair, blue eyes masked by big eyeglasses and an odd need to wear big dangling jewelry in some of the most rough outdoor places; a Gemini Earth Snake, essentially a desert dust tornado, who hosts the PBS show called Prehistoric Road Trip (among other projects).
I don’t know much about her, yet. But, she seems to be more of a paleontology/archaeology/geology enthusiast than an expert; she just likes talking with people about scientific matters and has an aura about her which screams, “She and Writingbolt would make great travel buddies!” She makes me unafraid of being completely at ease with myself. I may be wrong, but I feel like I could burp, fart or even pick my nose around her, and she’d just take it in stride. She reminds me of Laura Dern’s character from Jurassic Park, who was at ease digging through dinosaur poop. [Yet, underneath that goofy, smiling, earthy façade are some sensitive waters which could get a lil moody and leave victims in pain from her snake bite.]
That about sums it up. I only had to watch a few episodes (of Prehistoric Road Trip) to feel sufficiently comfortable in her company. And, as the comforting feeling grew, along with a remote attraction, I felt compelled to create this birthday post.

Aquarius Wood Pig (Aside from the wood factor, VERY compatible with me; perfect height and an all-around healthy aura) [I make a point of asking/searching to understand why she connects herself with a male horse. Why not Megan the Wondermare? I suppose being a pig isn’t very sexy/stellar…but there is strength and assurance in this hog-ess. And, yea, she has some fine ham hocks. :D][Call (email) me.]
