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.

Shutdown Blues

30 Day Blogging Challenge Day 18: What did you do during the 'Great Shutdown For The Upgrade' of WDC today? Tell us all the 'gory' details!

Oh, yay! An easy prompt.

I didn't really do much, honestly. Sent some emails, picked away at my current serial, wrote most of a new story, made food, watched a movie and went to bed. Kinda boring. But I've been in this melancholy funk all this week and it's been driving my writing haywire. Either I have no willpower to type, or I doubt each paragraph, or I feel like nobody would want to read it.

What can be more crippling to a writer than a poor mental state? When you have to fight yourself, is it any wonder that no work gets done? At least I'm nearing the end of it. Well, I hope that I am. Damn brain cost me the better part of a week.
