Writing day after day creates a good habit of consistent writing. But also, at some point you might feel bumping into a wall. That is where you stuck in routine.
I tried different ways of avoiding that point. But the truth is – the only way not to get there – make writing not 100% routine. Always try something new, look for something new, wonder, dream.
And give yourself some rest. Don’t let guilt overwhelm you. You deserve this rest as well as you deserve to write, create, express yourself.
It works not only in terms of writing. But also in terms of life.
Today I overslept, but the new day came as always. It didn’t wait for me to catch up.
But it is okay. I needed this day to put myself together. Let’s hope it worked.
Earlier today I bumped into video of Ke Huy Quan overcoming with emotions when he was accepting his Oscar. I was so glad for him, like for no one else on the Earth. I would be acting the very same if I were on his place. I won’t be there but it was nice to share that joy.
I love people that are real. With real emotions.
Sister told me today that she is proud of me no matter what. I cannot imagine what I would do without her. She is the most supportive person I have ever had in my life.
Where do you take one? For me the answer is simple: music. I 100% agree with Albus Dumbledore once said: ““Ah, music … A magic beyond all we do here!” And I cannot agree more.
Last months I have been working on “Ewayeen” novels and Bear McCreary’s music helped me a lot. Recently I am in love with God of War and God of War: Ragnarök soundtracks.
Wait for that, I have discovered so many brilliant composers when started writing. They transform music into real magic. Incredible people that don’t need to be introduced like John Williams, Dario Marianelli, Howard Shore and so many others. Their music help me every day, they help me even not-knowing about it.
So if you are looking for some inspiration, try these albums:
Bear McCreary: God of War (2018) / God of War: Ragnarök (2022) / DaVinchi’s Demons (2013) / Assassin’s Creed Syndicate: Jack the Ripper (2015)
Ramin Djawadi: Dracula Untold (2014) / Clash of the Titans (2010)
Alan Silvestri: Van Helsing (2004)
Robin Carolan & Sebastian Gainsborough: The Northman (2022)
Trevor Morris: Castlevania (2017)
Marc Streitenfeld: Robin Hood (2010)
Hans Zimmer: Man of Steel (2013) / Angels and Demons (2009)
AI created me a nice picture of Kratos aka God of War. Love this one. Inspires to create.
In most cases it feels like itching on the top of your fingers. Go. Write. Create. I am trying not to lose the feeling and not to give up. Because it is the only way to see the final result. The story I want to tell, to share with you.
