In response to "Techno Tunes"

It's funny, but while music with lyrics always helps me get in the right mood for a particular type of story, I have an easier time writing with instrumental music playing. Sometimes I can do music with lyrics, but most of the time, it slows me down. I do like to have theme songs that get me in the right mode for certain characters, though. Often, I'll have a song that I'll play before I sit down to work on a longer story that takes multiple days to write. It helps me find the right mood/voice. For my NaNo novel, it was Halsey's "Tradition". For Galatea, it was a Billie Eilish song called "everything i wanted". For my recent Screams story Escape, it was Digital Daggers "The Devil Within".

In response to "I Was a Fool to Dream"

Come now, Ray! This morning someone paid for my coffee before I pulled up to the Starbucks window. Made my day. And I paid for the person behind me. Hopefully it made theirs.

While they hardly solve the world's energy conundrum in one earth-shattering change, the tiniest little things sometimes make all the difference in the world, and we're all capable of making them happen.

Besides, Netflix and two-day delivery from Amazon rock! XD

In response to "Shuffling Off the Mortal Coil"

Potent stuff. I'm jealous.

At that point in my life, I'll be yelling at shadows and trying to remember if I now wear diapers or not.

But somewhere in that squishy pink thing locked in my skull, I'll remember you. I'll remember all of you.

Inheritance

She knows not why the wilderness calls
with groaning limb and rustled husk
voices murmur on wafting gusts
luring feet through trees at dusk

No beastly growls or distant howls
strike her heart with fearful doubt
even the grasping branches fail
to slow the girl upon her route.

Pajamas, her silken armor,
sight keener than a blade.
Boldly, she treads into the dark
and treacherous forest glade.

Something within her whispers
leaves tumble in spiral whirs
air grows thick with strange magic
Arcane blood bubbles and stirs

She clutches a squirming bundle
sibling of flesh and bone
swiftly the girl lifts that babe
and dashes brains against a stone.

You've done so well, dear child
turning innocents into paste
Spread it over your nubile form
and leave no scrap to waste.

Feel the power inside your veins,
savor each new spasm and twitch
at last you inherit my ancient curse
birthing a great and terrible witch.
