What is your emotional theme? What is your emotional self-description?

Music is something that speaks to my soul, my emotional center. Certain songs do it better than others. What is your emotional theme? What is your emotional self-description? Post it in the comment section below in this blog post.
Here's mine:
Radioactive by Imagine Dragons:

Let's let the song Radioactive speak for itself. I often feel like that inside. I would say that is my emotional theme for the year, possibly for a lifetime.
Superheroes-the message is about turning your pain into power. That is my emotional and writing theme. I always turning my pain into power by using my life experiences in anything I'm writing.

Here's an excerpt from one of my latest books Traveling Salesman: Astronomgonist. It's a science-fantasy, steampunk, teen-young adult mystery/suspense/thriller-multi-species, multi-racial, multicultural, interracial, supernatural, paranormal, magic-sorcery, historical fiction and disabilities, set in the late 1950s-1960s-to name a handful of some of the genres involved in it. It is currently in the Watty Awards 2018:
*Excerpt of Chapter One-Traveling Salesman: Astronomgonist:
A steam-powered plane flew overhead, the first of its kind in Phantasm Township and this country of Anagram on a sunny Sunday morning in 1959. Anagram is a nation steeped in a strict combination of Brutalist Architecture and Raygun Gothic set into a settler landscape.
The odor of powdered coal and petroleum fuel from the contraption sailed on the warm breeze. Spectators watched, oohed, awed, and booed as it clumsily glided in the air. Some people took pictures. Radio and news crews broadcast the whole event live.
Further along the railroad was an old tack house. The red crutches propped up near the back door cautioned Libba as she went inside. She sat the bag of groceries down on the kitchen countertop, her eyes set on the familiar man at the table.
“I didn’t think you were going to get out. You were supposed to be behind bars for eternity,” Libba said leaning up against the counter.
“You think because you left the country of Idiosyncrasies I wouldn’t find you?” the man said standing up, hobbling towards her.
“I was born here in Anagram, why wouldn’t I come back? I was trying to build a new life here for me and my… she paused and sighed. “Why are you in my home? You weren’t invited.”
“Do I have to be invited? We are old friends, Libba.”
“We’re not friends and you’ll never be invited. You are no longer my sovereign.”
He smiled. “You were always mine to do as I pleased.”

Updates on My Journey Back to Wattpad.com
I've posted three stories on Wattpad. One short short story is completed. It has drawn the attention of the Short Short Story Awards and it has also gain comment/vote. My others are ongoing Traveling Salesman: Astronomgonist has 21 chapters now posted on Wattpad. I'm working on the next chapters. Singular Sin is a short story and has already gained comments. Traveling Salesman: Astronomgonist has twenty-five votes and 105 reads. It has fallen out of its ranking in the steampunk genre and is ranked #90 in science fantasy. Traveling Salesman: Astronomgonist is a multiple-genre novella and steampunk and science fantasy are two of the many genres it falls into. It is part of a novella trilogy. I am working on the second book in this trilogy. I'm coming out with an idea concerning Traveling Salesman and the second book. I will reveal this in a future post when the idea I have is completed. My following continues to increase on Wattpad. And on a more leisurely note I'm binge watching one of my favorite sci-fi shows the X-Files on BBC America channel.

Moving Forward On Another Journey
My steampunk, sci-fantasy, mystery/thriller/suspense/historical fiction/paranormal novella Traveling Salesman: Astronomgonist is ranked #25 in the steampunk genre on Wattpad. I've also entered it in the 2018 Watty Awards. The first eighteen chapters are on Wattpad. I'm writing the last thirteen chapters to complete the first book in the Traveling Salesman novella-trilogy. I've also started already on the second book in the novella-trilogy and I've added a third book I'm writing for this novella-trilogy. Will I come out of retirement to publish it on Amazon?

Starting Over-Continuing the Love of Writing
I'm rewriting my sci-fantasy novel Maizsie Carson. I have to do that before I can finish the sequel which I've written the first three pages of.
I wrote Maizsie Carson a few years ago and posted it on Wattpad and it got raving votes, reads and comments. But there are kinks in it that need to be worked out. It'll probably take me half the year to rewrite it.
So far I have 149 pages over 42,000 words to rewrite and I haven't finished the novel yet. So that means I will also have to complete the novel during the rewriting process. I'm going to try to keep some of the parts I find value in that I can work into the new draft.
Once I get that done, I'm going to post it on Wattpad. I've posted a couple of stories on Wattpad yesterday and my following is increasing. Wattpad is where I first gained a following so like I said in an earlier post I'm having to start from square one again. Wattpad is where I got my first start. I'm just continuing my love of writing and nothing more. See my earlier blog post "Devalued Career to A Closeted Hobby," if you want to know why or further on this.
