Want Some New Writing Music? Here's a List!


If you're anything like me, focusing while writing can sometimes feel about as easy as rocket science. But for me, music helps me to focus (especially when it's epic!!). So here's a list of the best music I can find to help.



If you want a radio:

Playlists from HDSoundDI
This channel has playlists of Epic Music, Emotional Music, Heartfelt Music, and even Battle Music (great for writing those climaxes!) It's perfect for keeping the momentum going while you write,

Epicmusictime.com
Pretty sure I've talked about this one before, but here we are again! It's literally just a website that plays really epic instrumental music. Just hit play and that's it. You're all set to start writing.


If you want songs with lyrics:

Hidden Citizens
I can't rave about Hidden Citizens enough! They have music that was basically made to be written to. If you ever want a theme song for a particular character, chances are they'll have one for you.

Halsey
I've never watched any of her music videos because they look kinda weird, but Halsey's music is amazing. Some of them are just run-of-the-mill love songs and breakup songs, but there are also some (such as Castle and Control, highly recommend both!) that are made for fantasy writing.

Miles Morales: Into the Spiderverse Soundtrack
Clean hip-hop and rap. Need I say more? Again, good songs for all parts of the story. If you haven't already heard it, seriously, give it a try. You will love it.


If lyrics break your focus:

Doctor Who season soundtracks.  Chase music, funny music, beautiful ethereal music, the Doctor Who soundtracks have it all. You can find the soundtracks for individual seasons on YouTube or Amazon Music, but I don't think there's a complete playlist for them all, that's why it's not linked.

Lord of the Rings OST
The LOTR soundtracks, like the Doctor Who soundtracks, have a wide variety of feelings going through them. If you want sweet and sometimes sad music, I'd go for The Fellowship of the Ring. The Two Towers has a scarier feel to it. The playlist I've linked has all three soundtracks put together, but you can skip to whatever point you choose.

How To Train Your Dragon OST
A wonder-filled soundtrack if ever there was one. Some epic music thrown in there too. And this playlist has the soundtracks from HTTYD 1, 2, and 3.

This playlist of Disney piano covers
This playlist is basically the easiest thing to write to, ever. It's so relaxing, and some of the piano arrangements are gorgeous.


Hopefully you walk away from this with some new writing music to try! What's your favorite writing music? Let me know in the comments!

12 Underused Creatures and Animals in Fantasy

Image
Photo by  Антон Воробьев on Unsplash Look look! Another series! It'll probably be pretty short since I can only think of fantasy, sci-fi, and realistic fiction to involve in a series about underused creatures, but if you have another genre I could do, please comment and tell me because I would LOVE to expand this series! It is one of my favorite things in the world to think outside the box and do things that other people haven't done yet. And using creatures that no one else has used yet has been a big deal for me ever since I started writing. Heck, people didn't use the internet a ton just yet, so I would go fishing through the dictionary and encyclopedia to find a creature no one had used yet so I could use it. Or other times I would just make up something weird and give it a name.  Here's a list of the fantasy creatures/animals you've probably heard of, written about, and/or read about. Elves (one of the most common tropes, but how I love them) Fai...

10 Underused Historical Settings in Fiction

Image
I've already done  10 Underused Concepts in Sci-Fi  and  12 Underused Creatures in Fantasy (click the titles to go to the posts), now it's time for historical fiction to get the spotlight. I don't write a lot of historical fiction myself, but I know there are a lot of historical fiction writers out there! These settings can also be used in a historical sci-fi novel, in a steampunk novel, or even for a fantasy setting. So this is applicable to almost everyone! So on that note: Idea list: activate! The Great Depression. I know that writers like to stray away from talking about people who are broke, on hard financial times, or homeless. It makes people uncomfortable. Well, you know what I say? Good . If you want to make a change, you're gonna make some people uncomfortable. You could write an excellent sci-fi novel based on the next depression that hits the future, or a fantasy world that is hitting hard times. Mesoamerica. Me! Me! I've done this! Whet...

Villain Motivation Ideas Taken From History

Image
Not all villains are works of the imagination. And not all villains are as completely inhuman as we might prefer to think. Some people that we consider to be very, very bad had what could almost be seen as good reasoning behind their actions. Their deeds may have been bad, but maybe the thoughts from their heads can be used to tell some incredible stories. So here's four villain motivations taken straight from history. Changing the wording. (Hitler) Let's just get this guy out of the way first, shall we? Hitler and his Nazis are known across history to be some of the evilest people ever to exist. If someone's trying to think of a really evil person to use as an example, the name they settle on is normally Hitler's. And don't get me wrong. Hitler was a very, very bad man. But the thousands of people who followed him did not start off thinking the same way he did. They were carefully primed before they were commanded to help him in his dirty work. Hitl...
