Music requests
I’m in the mood for some new music. So I’ve come to you for suggestions. What I like is rock n’ roll. That includes 80s hairbands and pink floyd and Iron Maiden, but not stuff like Linkin Park. For me…
writer neuroses
Actually, this comes under the topic of neuroses, but I’m only covering one here. The fear of running out of ideas. That includes general plot ideas as well as world ideas, characters, and even clothing and food ideas. I live…
