I normally pre-write these up to a week in advance, but for some reason I thought tomorrow was Wednesday?
🤷🏻♀️
Anyway. Thankfully I can for once lean on the monthly question...
April 1 question - If you have a playlist (or could put one together) that either gets you in the groove to write or fits with one of your books, what is it? What type of music or what songs?
Well, I sort of can lean on it. I don't have any playlists that fit what I write (unless I'm working on a fanfic and listen to the soundtrack of whatever it's a fanfic of), but I do have a lot of playlists I listen to while I write.
They're pretty much all soundtracks, though. Mostly video game soundtracks, with a few anime soundtracks as well. Lately I've been listening to various Shin Megami Tensei (and spin-off) soundtracks, in part because I haven't put as much of my music collection on the computer I now use to write. I ought to put more Final Fantasy soundtracks on there, since this is an anniversary year for the series. (I do have to be careful about some game soundtracks, because sometimes listening to them makes me want to replay the game, and I don't have time to drop everything and play a 40-80 hour RPG just because the music puts a hanker in me. 😅)
The main thing is that since they're usually not vocals (and if there are vocals, they're typically not in a language I speak) they don't distract me from my writing. (I remember one time, many years ago, since I was starting work on a book set in the '80s, I made a playlist of all my '80s music...and I spent more time singing along than writing. 😭 Not gonna make that mistake again!)
