New Album: Long Walks and Short Tangents

Hey Everyone! N0n-B1nary here. I'm very happy to announce that my first album, "Long Walks and Short Tangents" is now available on Spotify!

This album has a pretty wide range of instrumental themes, but most are in the softer, lofi categories that are great to study , write, do chores or just zone out to. Two of the songs, "Translating an Akkadian Script with the help of Some Cheap Coffee" and "Sometimes Letting Go Of Your Past Means Crossing Mountain Ranges And Barbed Wire" were directly inspired by two characters from the fantastic Syntax Podcast made by @twinstrangersp , who are starting their crowdfunding campaign for season 3! Huge shout-out for their continued encouragement and support!

I can't stop thinking about the "desperate to keep them x has to stay but will never love them" and it's funny because I was going to say that "Starring Role" by Marina and the Diamonds reminded me of that snippet, but then I remembered I got that song from your "specific villain vibes" recommendations 😂 It fits so well though, so I was wondering if you wrote that snippet listening to that song??? Or if you write with music or prefer silence?

This playlist

I almost always have music on. I can't remember what specifically I was listening to when I wrote that one.

It might have been my villainous playlist, which includes songs from the previous playlist. It's just less specific. It's all my villain vibes.

The last song I wrote with specifically was Red Right Hand, originally by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, but I like the Karliene cover.

The two songs I'm currently obsessed with, not that you asked but hey ho that's why it's obsession, are: Labour by Paris Paloma and Escapism by Raye.

Fine I wrote this on mdma in a cabin in Canada the night s11 wrapped all alone.

The two verses are first an adult singing to a kid, then a kid singing to an adult.

It was the most distilled little bedtime song I could write after all those years trying to figure out what I was trying to say.

Worldbuilding Tips: How to Find Inspiration

Picture this. You’re minding your own business when out of nowhere you’re struck with creative genius. This new story idea consumes your every waking thought, playing out like a brilliant movie inside your head. However, when you try to put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard), words fail you. It’s a dilemma all writers face in their career. How do you turn an idea into reality? Don’t fight it. Explore it.

Fun Fact: There’s no right or wrong place to begin building your fictional world. You define your creation journey. The trick is finding what works best for you specifically. 

Are you more visual? Pinterest is a great source of inspiration. Keyword searches are your friend. What is a keyword? It’s a “significant word from a title or document used especially as an index to content.” Type in a word(s) into the search bar that summarizes the aesthetic you’re visualizing and let the magic happen. This could be anything from a color, time period, genre, trope, etc. Take one of my own creations, Scavenge Clan, for example. Keywords I associate with it include: hyena, werehyena, bones, gothic, scavenger, vulture culture, vultures, black-haired women, death. Over time, your searches will affect your algorithm, giving you more ideas that line up with your stories in the long run.

Are you more auditory? Creating Spotify playlists that remind you of your story and/or characters can help give you more inspiration and set the mood for when you start writing. 

Are you both visual and auditory? I love collecting fan made tribute videos on YouTube of TV shows and movies that give me a source of inspiration for my stories. For example, the TV show Grimm with a splash of the grounders from The 100 inspired my main story universe The Culling Wars.

Wherever you draw inspiration from, take advantage of it. Use it to expand your ideas and to help you when you’re feeling stuck. Remember that every bestselling novel started as a mere idea.

Okay fellow fic writers, time to get embarrassing with me. Writing music.

What's your "mentally choreographing the beats of a lightsaber fight scene" jam song?

Immersive writing session for all aspiring writers

Hey, guys!

About a month ago I started a small asmr music channel and, in honor of NANOWRIMO, I've decided to start a new series on there with writing sprints. This is not a new concept but basically if you can carve out 2 hours to write, you can use the video for immersion, focus and productivity. I've been using these types of videos while I write for some time now and I've found that they help me shut out distractions and my word count has increased pretty dramatically.

There's 4 time sprints included, with 5 minute breaks in between. This particular playlist mixes sounds of nature with calm and reflective guitar music.

The theme of this first session is "Camping in the mountains" and, in addition to the music, it also contains 4 different visual environments that are related to tranquil and idyllic camping in nature (without the strenuous hiking, low temperatures and threat of bears).

I'll leave the link below for anyone who is interested and, if you enjoy it, please consider subscribing and liking the video. I plan on making more writing sprints in the future and your support would mean a lot to me. In case you have any other suggestions of visual and auditory environments you'd like to write in, let me know.

Happy writing everyone!

You can really find anything on the internet. I searched google for a playlist that was "Slytherin, but classical" and look what came up. It's excellent and exactly what I wanted.

#marauders #marauders era #dead gay wizards #slytherin #harry potter #classical music #writing music #reading music #I discovered this playlist one week ago and it's probably got 15000 words written to it already #slytherin but classical #spotify #playlists #Spotify

I regret to inform you that a Halcyon playlist is on the horizon and, what’s worse, this is Joel’s theme song.

Here’s why:

Write me a list of how it is, of how it was, of how it has to be

You burrowed in under my skin, what I'd give to have you out for me

I still recall how the leather in your car feels

And at the end of it all, I just hope that your scars healed

We once sang

Retrograde, we'd shake the frame of your car

Now I know your name, but not who you are

It's all okay

There ain't a drop of bad blood, it's all my love

You got all my love while I'm still out here

With the pills and the dogs, if you need me, dear

I'm the same as I was, it's all okay

There ain't a drop of bad blood, it's all my love

You got all my love

You got all my love

Again, sorry in advance.

OK LOVE YOU BYE

The “I want it resonate with people” and “I don't give a shit about what you think” are both absolutely valid thoughts to experience simultaneously while making art

i should make music. *picks up ukulele* i have immediatly forgotten what music sounds like and have lost all motivation to make any

and thats my process for writing music

#devilish rambles #writing music #writing music is hard #i get this every 6 months

I have been trying to transcribe my Ghosts-inspired songs for months now but gods, writing sheet music is hard. Replaying the same few notes over and over again to get the rhythm just right, relistening to it all the next day and realising some of it still sounds off, starting the whole process again and again and again ...

It's honestly a pain but I do want to share my music here one day and, more importantly, be able to play my songs on the piano (I'm composing on a baritone ukulele since it's easier for me).

Here's what I got so far (in case anyone is interested):

Finished:

Only the Moon(-ah) (Robin's song about loss and change)

Five Years (a goodbye song to the show; or a love letter, if you will)

Finished but in need of revision:

The Letter (The Captain and Havers's song about buried secrets and regrets)

Work in progress:

The Poet (a song about Thomas being forever stuck with the shitty first draft)

Planned for the future:

Born A Girl (Fanny's song)

When He Was Young (Humphrey's song)

And He Waited (Thomas's song about Isabelle and his death)

I Will Love You (a very self-indulgent Thomas/Nigel song)

Outside These Walls (a song about the ghosts before & after Alison's arrival)

Once (a song with a verse about each ghost that is way too long at the moment and needs major revisions)

#I am writing this post mainly to motivate myself #not sure if it'll be working but it's worth a try #I do want to post 'Five Years' before the Christmas Special airs since it will truly be goodbye then #bbc ghosts #personal #writing music
