traveling through a medieval fantasy world but it gets darker (and spookier) the longer you write

[@Dunkwart]

I'm a personal fan of the 12:00-13:30 marker on Sprint 1: Mountain Pass. Apart from sounding great on its own, the music which follows the previously mentioned portion shifts towards an up beat feel good wagon riding, country siding, peaceful adventure. Makes me imagine that the adventurers accomplished some great feat & hopes are high. I live for these playlists.

[@dwbarrington]

First, thank you so much for compiling this. It is incredibly calming and has made my work progress on my first planned fantasy novel to go very well. I am getting about 650 words down per sprint. I will gladly take 2,600 words written in two hours. Secondly, I wish the best of luck to any and all writers who are trying to just do the dang thing, keep going. You got this!

When the topic doesn't match anything I'm writing, I love to just listen while I rest. It's so relaxing! Sci-Fi next??? I'm writing about a girl stuck on a spaceship and how incredibly lonely she is and most Sci-Fi music is all: pew-pew space battle!😓 I want to write how ethereal and vast space is, not an action scene.

[@johni1622]

Hmmm ditto but my locales vary so this floats my boat but I can see how you need something more specific. Does the music library on the ship still work lol. You'll find something. My fave music is everything, ever listen to viol da gamba solo's?

Somehow I had a feeling that flutes would help to soothe me, but this video was even better than I expected. The music and reason are perfectly gentle and balanced so there's no startling dynamic changes, and the background scenery is beautiful and relaxing as well, so soft and still and comforting. As soon as I turned this on I felt the bodily tension and frantic thoughts melt away into perfect peace. My eyes are already closing. Thank you so much for this good medicine 🙏💜
