#plsylist

My most developed playlist was put together for my Draco/Hermione fic, Manacled, it’s a mixture of songs I found, as well as songs that were recommended to me by readers that really fit my mood when writing.

I am actually really, really bad at finding new music, and I tend to find a single song that fits my writing mood for a story, and then I listen to it over and over a hundred million times until the fic is done.

I find that listening to fitting music when I’m writing drafts can sometimes be very helpful for getting into the emotional headspace I want/envision. Then when I revise, I do so without music and I’m able to see the emotional gaps and lack of mood setting that the music had created for me, and work to add details and language that feels similarly evocative.

Is all I want too much to ask?

Is it something wrong with me?

All I want is a good guy

                                   not a spell gonna be broken, with a potion or a priest.                      when you’re cursed you’re always hoping that a prophet will be grieved.

It starts with bloodshed, always bloodshed, always the same                                       running from something larger than yourself story, shoving money into the jaws of a suitcase, cutting your hair         with a steak knife at a rest stop, and you're off, you're on the run, a fugitive driving away from                                                 something shameful and half-remembered. They're hurling their bodies down the freeway                                                 to the smell of gasoline, which is the sound of a voice saying I told you so.                                                                       Yes you did, dear.
