Every time I start a new writing project (WIP), I always create a mood music playlist in Spotify/YouTube to set the tone for that specific writing project. That way when I hear that playlist or specific songs from that playlist, I can immediately fall into the world of that specific project, no matter what I’ve been doing before then. The music playlist is my gateway into my story’s world.
This is one of the Inspiration tracks for The Dark Fairytales.
Walk Through The Fire | Zayde Wolf ft Ruelle
I’m always wondering If it’s ever gonna end I can feel it in my bones I can feel it in my bones Standing in the dust Of what’s left of us (I can see you in my soul) (I can see you in my soul) (Woah oh oh oh)
Did we take too many chances Did we let too many pass us Did we throw it all away Did we throw it all away
Did we light too many matches Turn ourselves into these ashes Did we throw it all away Did we throw it all away
We walk through the fire Is there a way out Is there a way out We walk through the fire Is there a way out Is there a way out
I try to understand How we’re here again (In the middle of the storm In the middle of the storm) There’s no way to go, no way to go But straight through the smoke, straight through the smoke And the fight is all we know (The fight is all we know) Did we take too many chances
Did we let too many pass us Did we throw it all away Did we throw it all away Did we light too many matches Turn ourselves into these ashes
Did we throw it all away Did we throw it all away
We walk through the fire
Is there a way out Is there a way out We walk through the fire Is there a way out Is there a way out… Of the fire
I wanna know is there a way out Is there a way out Show me the way out Is there a way out We walk through the fire Is there a way out Is there a way out
There are five things I do before beginning any new writing project.
I choose a new notebook specifically for that project. (All a new binder/cover.)
I set up a visual aesthetic mood board for the WIP. (Both digital – Pinterest, and analogue – binder + wall.)
I choose a working title for my WIP.
I set up the Scrivener documents.
I create a Mood Music Playlist in Spotify/YouTube.

Dead Of Night | Ruelle
Don’t know what to expect My mind is racing, I can barely feel my breath Like a dream I can’t escape I wanna run, but I’m still here when I awake
In a pitch black world, anything goes No telling where the wind will blow In a pitch black world, anything goes
In the dead of night strange things happen In the dead of night the world goes cold When the lights go out all around, whispers fill the air In the dead of night, better hold on tight
You can shout or you can scream But it won’t save you from the midnight trickery When the daylight disappears, you’ll find no shelter in this tangled web of fear
In a pitch black world, anything goes No telling where the wind will blow In a pitch black world, anything goes
In the dead of night strange things happen In the dead of night the world goes cold When the lights go out all around, whispers fill the air In the dead of night, better hold on tight
Better hold on tight In the dead of night
Come take a breath Don’t close your eyes Don’t say another word Don’t let the darkness find you Holding still, don’t break inside Don’t say another word Don’t let the darkness find you
In the dead of night strange things happen In the dead of night the world goes cold When the lights go out all around, whispers fill the air In the dead of night, better hold on tight
Better hold on tight In the dead of night Better hold on tight
Tell me, Do you create playlists of inspirational/motivational music?
