What if board games were… people?

"What do you do when you don't feel inspired to write?"

Each of my books has a “HYPE UP!” playlist full of upbeat, high tempo songs (usually in the form of anime OPs). Every morning before writing I turn up said playlist and within 1-2 songs, boom, I’m ready to write.

On the days where I’m feeling extra uninspired, and I can feel the nagging little voice telling me to skip writing the day’s chapter, I tell myself to listen to the hype up playlist for just *one* more track.

Then the little nagging voice gets smaller, and smaller.

And i get writing~

I don’t make the rules.
