Can not cease for the fear of a silent night

Sometimes we have days where we don't want to get out of bed, others we just cant wait for the day to start. this is the truth to humanity. no one is perfect, nor is anything just perfect.

And fine is an answer that screams there's problems brewing.

But then there's music. I believe music is one of the purest forms of communication we have. I know that sounds all hipster-ish but its true if you actually sit and think about it.

How many different playlists do you have? Why? Do you have playlists that reflect certain emotions?  Days? I do.

I have a million different playlists. A lot of them are for my moods of the day, sometimes I just need that inspirational upbeat to help me through the day.

A lot of those translate into my writing. When I know I want to write a particular scene then the best thing to do is play the playlist that fits that emotion. I find when I do something like that it throws me into the emotions and lets me get out the scene with incredible ease. It also helps me get lost in my writing which I consider to be a great gift.

I'm not sure how many of you reading my blog are actually writers but I'm sure there are a few out there who can agree with me about getting lost in your work. Its a great feeling and when you realize that you suddenly just wrote out five chapters... well there are very few other feelings as satisfying as that. (a few people... get your heads out of the gutter ;p)

I like the same feeling when I'm reading. though sometimes that leaves me sad when I realize I've read through all of the book and then the series is suddenly done.

But I've strayed from my original conversation on music.... and now my computer needs a reboot. that's what I get for updating office right? :)

So if you can get through my jumbles of thoughts that this post turned into... you deserve a cookie! :) sadly I don't have any and trust me when I say you don't want to try any that I would make. me and the kitchen... well we don't get along.

Till we meet again
