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".

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

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.

A Writer's Worst Fear

Not much to say here except I had a minor heart attack when I left my laptop to take a snack break and returned to find... true horror. The damn device had updated and rebooted in my absence, resulting in the loss of a 2000+ word story I was nearly done with.

There's nothing worse than the feeling of losing hours worth of work. I had resigned myself to this and lamented the loss of a great entry when I found a tab with autosaved documents. I almost lost it again, this time out of joy.

I'm extremely pleased because there was no way I was going to rewrite all of that again. Fate has smiled upon me at last it seems. The lesson? SAVE EVERYTHING FOR YOUR SANITY.
