I'm old af

I was just remembering 'the old days'. 'My days'.

I'm so oooooooooooooooold.

Me, my parents and a cheap car.

No air conditioning, the warmest summer ever known.

Beatles rocking through the radio nonstop.

Beetles rocking through the windshield with a ton of their insect friends as well. (For some reason, those insects just disappeared nowadays...)

Coming back home to... sit down and read a book? Cuz no internet, babe. Not even a mp3 player at the time.

(I confess, I'd just stare at the ceiling, wishing it'd swallow me whole.)

Tumblr is god-given, I'm telling ya.

What are books but a fanfiction of reality?

Older Disney movies, too.

They were heavy on the marriage trope, as well...

Martin is famous for his “gardening” approach to plot development. He doesn’t want to plot things out and build a fixed plot, he wants to imagine what all the characters are getting up to and let all of that together grow into something organically. It’s a nice sentiment, it just doesn’t work well with what he was doing.

Really interesting. I never thought about what I did was "gardening". Fascinating. I think the difference is, I do know exactly how I want to end, I do have strong ideas on the vibe and what happens. But I need time figuring out the in-betweens; how each character will act and the repercussions.

That's why I can spend years upon years planning a book. The planning bit is the most important part...

SoS Trilogy Update #1

I've been working on this for months.

Seeing as I'm reaching the end of my CD Original Book, I've been dabbling even more in my SoS Trilogy.

It's a difficult project. I need to have all three books outlined first, which will probably take 2025, 2026 AND 2027 to do. I'll probably write the first book in 2027...

(As for the TCIK book, it should be launched 2026 I think...)

But anyway, the reason I'm writing this is to say... I legit went through my main character in SoS's playlist and thought, 'not enough Lady Gaga'. Now I'm trying to find more of her songs to add. Most don't fit...

Well, I need to try anyway.

Best thing about music:

When I have no clue what to write next, I just throw on a carefully curated playlist, hit play, and dance so silly the gods cringe from the heavens.

The ideas come.

Every. Time.

(If they don’t, keep dancing. Sometimes it takes 15 hours or so)

Where does chocolate milk come from? I’ve heard brown cows but part of me doesn’t want to believe it.

That’s a good instinct! The true story of chocolate milk (and all chocolate!) begins not at our local pasture, but with the rare and beautiful beans of the Brazilian rainforest

Wanna whole lotta love?

Ok just figured it out: I'm hearing Tchaikovsky from now on

Omg I'm here wanting to cry. Why? Because I'm hearing lo-fi & eating nutella. Somehow that's cry-inducing to me now.

And you can't even say that it must be 'that time of the month' cuz I'm not a woman, technically. What's wrong with me. WHY does lo-fi makes me want to cry. What do I even hear if not lo-fi to relax?? I tried 3daysgrace, for hours, then Bullet for my Valentine, then back to 3daysgrace, now I got no idea what to listen to. Also, I have to work, so I can't just go home and bury myself in a tower of blankets like I'm rebuilding Babel.

Never gonna hear lo-fi again.

(Make a bet on how long it takes for me to listen to it again.)
