🎵 Sleep, my little bird, the wind is learning your name. Close your eyes, the dark is kind, it only wants the same. Snuff the candle, bar the door, Someone's knocking, as before.🎵

Verse 3 of 6. It's no longer just a song. It's alive 🕯. We are getting closer to its meaning, but what could it be? by @a.s.whitney

Another week in the books 📚. This one was filled with all chapter that proved to be most resistant to be drafted.

I did spend a day at the @mimphx one day. Seeing all the different musical instruments from around the world, and hearing how they have shaped the world and cultures. That is why I include it in my novels.

How way your week, productive or did you just make it through 😃. Till next week.

I have come to a chapter where if this doesn't grab the readers emotionality, the whole story will fail.

Have any of you run into the same struggle when you were writing your storys? Cause it kind of sucks. 😐

Just wanted you give you a inside look at some of the struggles of writing ✍️.

I personally like to filp the tropes that are expected to make my stories more interesting and intriguing.

My characters are all flawed, the main character will never just be morally grey. They will have more depth(sadness, anger, fear, uncertainty).

My locations will not be castles or suspicious settings. Instead I choose local lived in locations that showcase there character and potential to be beautiful and dreadful as well.

I include music as its own character, allowing you to feel emotional connection to whatever the words are trying to make you feel.

If you are intrigued, you might like The Ballad of Delilah. Check it out, what can you loose. You might find your next good read.

Cheers 🍻.
