“It has always seemed to me that so long as you produce your dramatic effect, accuracy of detail matters little. I have never striven for it and I have made some bad mistakes in consequence. What matter if I hold my readers?”

Good morning, dear followers!


I had a pretty laid back Sunday (doesn’t that sound like the name of an Alternative Rock band? ‘Laid Back Sunday’? :p). I went out with the family, had a silly morning, and I actually managed to sneak in a couple games of Hearthstone! (I played against a Warlock who summoned two Succubus on one turn, and then I just sapped them both xD I’m such a troll).

Holy crap, Writing & Fighting just went gold on 8tracks! All three of my writing playlists have gone gold in less than 72 hours D:



Do you have any ideas for what kind of music would be good to listen to while writing a quirky, teenage comedy?



Anime Soundtracks. Seriously. I am not kidding. I assume you are looking for light, unobtrusive, (and rather silly) music? Then look up your favorite slice-of-life anime and you will be mostly set.


Personally, I like theLucky Star BGMs...
