Recently, I have been brainstorming about what to write, which probably means I should start reading again. I've taken a break from it to do other things. The last novel I read was... many, many, months a go. I can't even remember.
I have one good story going strong, but it's not even finished. So far, it's 16k words, which translates to roughly 64 pages. I estimate the draft will finish at about 20~25k. I hope once I finish with the writing process, I can publish it in some way, shape, or form.
Lethargy. The only thing keeping me from doing absolutely nothing is relaxing music. Mozart. Whether the "Mozart Effect" actually helps or not, I don't know. But listening to classical music does make me feel like I'm a rich sir in Europe.
Also, in the past, I've noticed that music helps me get in the mood for the scene I am writing about. For example, one day, it's sunny, bright, and happy. But the scene I need to write has a sad mood. Solution? Put on sad music.
I have not used the strategy above for quite some time now. So maybe it's time to search up music with different moods and open my document once again.
And here's a picture that is loosely related to this post.
