I’m just gonna dive right in today.
I’ve been working on this book since roughly November 2020. Not long, in the grand scheme of things, but it feels like it’s taking forever.
One thing that I’ve found helps, oddly enough, is this playlist I put together specifically for this novel, called “Writing”.
Now, it’s not just a playlist to get me in the mood to write, but to get me to write this in particular.
Couple of problems with this. First of all, it’s super long. Last I checked, It’s over 4 hours. My other problem is that I get sick of songs if I listen to them too much, just like everyone else. These two end up helping each other out, but only a little. See, I tend to find songs to add more quickly than I get sick of other songs. ^It’s just a burden I have to bear, I guess.^
Here’s the list, I’ve included the songs I’ve removed but they have a * to show the difference:

If you have any song suggestions, that go with the sound/theme, feel free to leave a comment.
