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.

Roadblocks

I sometimes dread it when people call me.

Not because of the social anxiety, but the possibility of having to do a favor or make future plans, or even a simple request to hang out and cure their boredom. While I enjoy the company of friends, it makes me feel guilty when there are things I was hoping to accomplish. Who knows when life will turn upside down and force me to sideline yet another project?

I must always seize what free time I have and guard it possessively. They wants it, my preciousss.

But I suppose I'm not entirely blame-free. After all, it's one thing to complain about people pestering you and preventing you from writing and it's another to sit around watching TV and goofing off until it's time to be productive and then have something come out of nowhere.

Still, I'm getting better at managing my time. Slowly but surely I'll have this mastered. Just you watch.
