I found it hard these days to just wake up and write as I used to do. Had to wait a little today and this time I found that perhaps the only way to focus was to listen to music to get me going.
I always daydream about the book with music, but this time listening to it did wonder while I write and yes I added another 4 pages or so to Ancient Secrets today.
The song I like for it these days is NIN The Great Destroyer, the remixed version. I just love that whole album indeed. In This Twilight works great too.
Regardless, I’ll see if it works again tomorrow.
Still working on the Warrior Writer course. This time we had to ask ourselves why? Why do we want to accomplish these goals.
Here are some of my answers:
Stragetic Goals – Why
Why the solid carreer writer:
To leave a legacy, to leave my two boys a series of books written by their mom, so they have a legacy when I am gone; to have a sense of accomplishment, to have done a solid tangible body of work, acknowledged by the traditional publishing world, when I look back as I get old.
Why the paranormal/steampunk genres:
For the “wow” factor I feel in that genre. I am totally boring in real life but I can be in those awesome worlds when I write. I control it and it is just so so cool to be there. Keep that feeling of awe with me all the time.
Tactical Goals (Books) – Why
Series one (Ancients)
Because I was heart-broken by the fate of tragic lovers from old legends passed down, told and sung in my family. I felt compelled to reunite these lovers in modern day time using paranormal elements. A way to connect with my family and roots especially after my father died, which is what prompted me to start writing.
Series two (Steampunk)
The wow/cool factor. I just want to be in that Steampunk world so badly (I want to live in an Abney Park song! LOL) It just fascinates me and reconnects me with the really cool side of my science background (climate, gadgets, being at sea, exploration, ect) The series is been with me for over a year now.
Blessed be
