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".

It's been quite a while since I had the pleasure of sitting down and collecting my scrambled thoughts. What a year it's been. But what a huge comfort to return here and find that nothing has changed, a delightful constant in the roiling chaos of my life. After giving up on my projects, I managed to find the determination to continue where I've left off.
If not now, then when? Better complete my life's work before the world ends! Carpe diem, folks. I hope you can seize those ambitions and set your hearts ablaze with passion. We are the masters of imagination, creators of dreams. No one can find the words we seek except ourselves.
Keep your quills sharp and those inkpots full!
So here I am it's in my hands
And I'll savor every moment of this
So here I am alive at last
And I'll savor every moment of this
