Writing Music I've Been Obsessed With Lately



I don't know about you, but I have to listen to music while I'm writing or else there will be no productivity. Period. Mainly I listen to a lot of epic music or lofi because 1) They boost my productivity, 2) I can just find mixes and don't have to look for anything specific, but I do like to listen to soundtracks too when I can think of a good one.

Most of the time, I don't listen to albums when I'm trying to write, because while I can sometimes listen to music I already know and maintain my focus, it doesn't always work out, and when I'm distracted while trying to write it's no fun at all.

So here's all my favorite music for writing that I've been obsessed with lately:

Super dark and epic music that works so well for writing because the music sounds like it's meant for specific moments in a story! I love it.




AudioMachine

I've had a small AudioMachine obsession recently, and not without reason. If you are an epic music listener like I am, you might notice after a while that the songs all seem to blend together and sound the same. Well, not AudioMachine!! They're probably just another trailer music company for all I know, but their music is super unique and beautiful. Every piece is different, and they have a wide variety of genres and vibes within the music. I love it.

Okay, okay, I really love Lofi, and these are my favorite mixes lately. So calming, so pretty, so good for productivity! And the art is magnificent. However, if you're more into lofi with lyrics, I would highly recommend Ambition's music picks as well.



Royal Deluxe

I LOVE ROCK MUSIC SO MUCH. Pretty sure Royal Deluxe is another set of people that make music for movie trailers, but I am a-ok with that if I can keep listening to their music on YouTube. Seriously their music is so good. My top tracks are 'I'm a Wanted Man' 'Born For This' and 'Bad'.



Sam Tinnesz
https://www.youtube.com/user/THESAFELIGHTTV

This man makes high-quality music, and while some of it is more hardcore like Royal Deluxe, some of them are soft and pretty, like 'The Raven'. Every so often I'll just be walking along singing 'Play With Fire' and realize people can hear me singing about flames so maybe that's not so good, but I love Sam Tinnesz music so much.


And lastly, but most certainly not leastly:



Nathan Wagner
https://www.youtube.com/user/nathanwagner762

 Nathan. Wagner. Is. So. Talented! This man seriously deserves more of a following, because he is so talented and has such awesome songs and still replies to all his comments even though he gets hundreds of them. His music is beautiful and speaks to my soul. Would highly recommend.



And that will be all of me screaming about my favorite music for today. I hope you found some new music here, and that you will share your favorite writing music in the comments! I am always up to hear some new beats, and I appreciate all recommendations!

Speaking of recommendations, I built an antihero music playlist and am looking for even more songs to put on it. Got any music to recommend to me? Thanks!

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

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
