#I need to do more playslists now that i have new songs i listen to

[damianito]

I have a feeling you listen to soft spoken music. Like 24/7 studie beats.

Yeah, i do listen to music like that,,,, wouldn’t say all the time but i do listen to it when i need background noise.  The music i listen to depends mostly on my mood or on what mood do i want to feel ig. Fun fact, i make playlists on spotify. Tons of them. Not necessarily for someone to listen to them but mostly for me to have an order.

Here is the link of my playlists so y’all can check them out if you want.

@cukibola tagged me to answer these questions. Thank you so much!

1. When did you start writing?

The first short story I have kept is from when I was about 11 years old, but I know I wrote/made up stories before that, so basically my whole life lol

2. Is there any special method that helps you getting to write?

What I do is I imagine movies in my mind (I even have a whole alter-ego actress, which silly as it sounds, helps me imagine new scenarios). A piece of dialogue comes to me, and I usually even re-enact it (I’m constantly worried someone might hear me/see me and think I’ve lost my mind lmao). I imagine the feel, the emotions, try to embody them, look in the mirror and see if the dialogue is effective. Eventually, the tiny pieces of conversation start making sense and I put them together, but still, as I write I need to read out loud.

3. Do you listen to certain types of music to set the mood?

Depends on the storyI’m writing. I usually make playslist. However, for my first novel (an arthurian story, and it’s only draft 0 right now lol), I didn’t use music almost at all. But yeah, music is fundamental for me to get in the mood, especially if I’m writing about darked topics.

4. Drawing, moodboards, character makers, music lists or none of those options?

Musi lists! I can’t draw, don’t know what a chacarter maker is. I do collect images with the general feel/aesthetic of a story in Pinterest, and tend to try to associate a character with one or two real-life persons (when it comes to looks, at least, kind of face-claims). Helps me make it more real and easier to describe.

5. Would you prefer a big Hollywoodesque adaptation, a smaller project coming from the heart or no adaptation at all?

Smaller project coming from the heart. Almost all my stories are very intimate, so it suits better.

6. Do you have any taboos or topics you try to actively avoid?

Self harm (especifically in the form of cutting). I write a lot about self-destructiva behavior but I find cutting much to disturbing to write. Also, writing sexual abuse (especially to children). I guess I could write about it, I just generally avoid it, and I highly doubt I’d be able to write it well if I ever chose to.

7. Are you in favor or against spoilers?

I personally don’t mind spoilers. Actually, I’m the type of person that usually reads the whole wikipedia plor summary as they watch the movie. Now, I have to look for them. If someone simply tells me spoilers without warning I usually don’t like it so much. As a writer, I think one or two spoilers here or there can help increase the interest, and if someone wants them, I can give them some, but not too much.

8. Have you ever written something to appease or spite somebody else?

Yes and yes. My whole short story collection (How birds fall) was basically written in order to a) appease myself and b) in spite of my (ex)borfriend because, you know. Breakups. other than that, well, writing can be a form of self-therapy, so I do use it to deal with life a lot.

9. Being given the options "Candy Valley of the Lollipop" or "Cliff of Despair and Looming", which one would you say approximates better to your WIP's general aesthetic?

Cliff of Despair and Looming.

10. A media you weren't expecting to inspire you, but does.

Ghibli movies! Don’t get me wrong, I love them! But what I write is rather tragic usually. Thanks to Ghibli movies, and rom-coms I’m inspired to write something a little calmer and optimistic.

Also, there’s a song called El ratón by Cheo Feliciano which is amazing and it has inspired the outline of a whole action-thriller with romance and crime that I will probably never write but hey, it’s cool!

I won’t write 10 new questions because I’m lazy, but also because these questions were amazing. Anyway, I tag: @marwoood @maskedlady @2-dream @pynchmee @ladywithalamp @viragosouls
