My blog, where I store those thoughts rattling around my brain

Welcome to the insanity of my mind! Please excuse the cobwebs and clutter, I've been meaning to clean the place up a bit...

Stop in and read some of my nonsense whenever the mood strikes you :)

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

Such a sad piece. I hope the speaker finds his beauty.

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.

Let's Not Talk and Turn Up the Radio

So she's traded my love for comfort, gives it all away
So much for that happy ending, now you make it clear
You've got your options, only one way left to go
So I'll follow it down

She goes straight, straight for the deep end
Doesn't hesitate to dive right in
Be careful now, be careful now
Be careful, be careful now

She only comes to me in my dreams
So sleep becomes addicting
It's not healthy, it's what makes you right
It's not healthy, it's what makes you

Hold her strings to haunt my dreams

Devil At My Heels

I'm running from my demons now,
Racing thoughts inside my head,
Gasping as I pump these legs,
Burning pain keeps them at bay.

I go until my muscles shake
Limbs quake, threaten to collapse
But still, I force myself along
Because the demons are coming back

I hope my music drowns them out
But wicked whispers worm within
That hissing static sorrow,
Shreds my soul with savage glee.

That is why I cannot rest
Even if my tendons tear
I'll run, I'll walk, I'll limp away
From those voices in my head
