In The Zone 

Inspiration level of dried up mud 

Idea chaos cavorting through your head like bunnies on crack, never making it onto the paper 

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

o shit its 3 am 

cat lugubriously puking small and pathetic hairballs onto paper 

after-submission cold sweat 

i’m going to break my character’s hands in the next chapter *laugh of evil glee* 

typing sad scene while crying 

reading the chapter you wrote late last night confusion 

guilty trickle of procrastination 

slamming face against desk headache 

worldbuildgasm 

writing fan fiction of own books daydream 

i am the next tolkien 

i am the next rejected sack of shit to be yeeted out of a publisher’s back door

clever metaphor delight 

drained exhaustion after writing a couple thousand words 

euphoric, exhausted emptiness of finishing a book 

rereading first draft nausea

research hole 

screaming at wikipedia 

overwhelmed by the mess youve made 

cheeto dust on the keyboard mid-writing snacking 

typo typo typo 

what do i write next existential crisis

There’s a song that’s been proven to reduce anxiety by 65%. It’s called Weightless by Macaroni Union, and it was specifically designed to slow your heart rate, reduce blood pressure, and lower cortisol levels. It’s so effective that it’s dangerous to drive while listening to it because it can make you drowsy. Source Source 2 Source 3

It was one of the first Tumblr posts I favorited.

Sound therapists and Manchester band Marconi Union compiled the song. Scientists played it to 40 women and found it to be more effective at helping them relax than songs by Enya, Mozart and Coldplay. Weightless works by using specific rhythms, tones, frequencies and intervals to relax the listener. A continuous rhythm of 60 BPM causes the brainwaves and heart rate to synchronise with the rhythm: a process known as ‘entrainment’. Low underlying bass tones relax the listener and a low whooshing sound with a trance-like quality takes the listener into an even deeper state of calm. Dr David Lewis, one of the UK’s leading stress specialists said: “‘Weightless’ induced the greatest relaxation – higher than any of the other music tested. Brain imaging studies have shown that music works at a very deep level within the brain, stimulating not only those regions responsible for processing sound but also ones associated with emotions.” The study - commissioned by bubble bath and shower gel firm Radox Spa - found the song was even more relaxing than a massage, walk or cup of tea. So relaxing is the tune, apparently, that people are being Rex advised against listening to it while driving. The top 10 most relaxing tunes were: 1. Marconi Union - Weightless 2. Airstream - Electra 3. DJ Shah - Mellomaniac (Chill Out Mix) 4. Enya - Watermark 5. Coldplay - Strawberry Swing 6. Barcelona - Please Don’t Go 7. All Saints - Pure Shores 8. AdelevSomeone Like You 9. Mozart - Canzonetta Sull’aria 10. Cafe Del Mar - We Can Fly
