I used to write mystery stories when I was younger cause the Hardy Boys was my favorite book series. I remember putting alot of time and effort into this one story and I was proud when I finished it. I let my mom read it and her response was "oh, that's nice :ld:"

It fukked me up and I never wrote again. :(

Thats why you gotta find people who will give you more meaningful feedback :russ:

Hey brehs I was wondering about what your writing "routine" is, if you have one? I used to write at this cafe next to home back in Brussels and had my go-to playlist (Clams Casino, Evian Christ, DJ Shadow...:blessed:) that got me in that zone...but now I've changed situations and have a hard time getting in that mood to write (I still write, but less).

Do you guys have "writing routines"?

I prefer to write in the evening, after everything begins to slow down. I can never write in the day because I like being active when the sun is out. But once 4 o'clock rolls in, I start playing some music for an hour to get me focused then I start working.

Yeah that's what I used to do then I was unemployed for quite some time so spent most of my afternoons writing...and I have a hard time reverting back, especially that at my place there's a LOT of noise (trafic and whatnot from the street) so I struggle "easing in" the writing...

The morning has come, still frown upon face,
As I rise and get ready lips curled with distaste,
The day it is bright, but my mood does differ,
If you greet I'll just grunt, for we are who we are,
As you smile and you dance, as you sing the day's praise
I'll just try to ignore you, and so we'll part ways,

I know you'll approach, In an attempt to enrich,
My horrible day, and with your harmonious pitch,
Songs aimed at my mood, in hope my demeanor'll switch,
:birdman: I wish a n*gga wood, like a tree in this b*tch

Dreams are for children, not for adults,
They play for the joy, We work for results,
For someone must fund, those costumes and toys,
pink dresses for girls, toy guns for the boys,
Cowboys and Indians, and Hide and Go seek,
Keep counting to 50, and don't you dare peek,
We pay all the bills, work flesh to the bone,
So these little rascals, can explore the unknown,
Be pirates on ships, And Pilots on planes,
And everything else, until the day wanes,
And they must come in, for rest they will need,
For tomorrow's adventures, which all will exceed,
Those experienced today, For magic and play,
All in the dreams, where little ones lay,
We have not the heart to tell them the truth,
For children are precious, why trouble the youth?
About taxes and bills, and sadness and grief,
Why is adulthood so long, yet childhood so brief?
The burdens are ours, the adventures are theirs,
We stay up at night so they sleep with no fears,
For we are their heroes, and in us they trust,
So we'll love them and raise them as someone did us,

was messing around last night (seems like i could focus more in the evening) might have to change up a couple of bars just a rough draft.

-Mental giant defiant one/ verbal semantics the mechanics of the mind/
the spiritual journey begins within/
examine the words from the wise/
the eyes are mere reflections of whats going on in the inside/
emotions are depicted on the outside/ hence are shown when frown, when you cry/
7 planes of consciousness and part of it has to reside in my rhymes/
remove the veil from the 3rd eye and at the same time remove the notion that thinking is a crime resorting in 3 to 5/
the depth of my mind is ever imminent in my lyrics/ cause the reality is we dont own our body...........we own the experience.

Currently, I'm working on my own comic storyline (I call it an epic, because the shyt's that long. Think Dragonball Z length, or even longer)...I have a few others as well, but I'm primarily working on this one right now....

My routine for ideas is:

-Put some epic music on my iphone (this can be rock, anime music, motion picture music, etc.)

-Scroll a blunt

-Light that bih

-Turn that music up, put in my headphones

-Light the mind wander

This works the best when I put new tracks on there, too.

You know, someone oughtta start an epic music thread in here somewhere....I could use some more tracks at the moment...

I was thinking 13 myself, I want the character to go through a lot of changes and do things he never would of done had he not left his self isolating environment. But I dunno, 13 might be a little too young. Maybe 15 or 16 so he could better pass as an adult.

i was thinking about your other question as it pertains to location to areas i could think of in the bay are the pueblo projects out in pittsburg and Florin Gardens in south sac

I got nothing to lose, nothing to gain
Nothing but guns, nothing but violence, nothing but pain
Nothing but broken hearts and scattered remains
Am I living? Life and death, it's one in the same
Paragraphs explain, my derailed train of thought
I was caught up in the web and the spiders bribe was bought
My mind was wrought, sleeping with murderous lovers
Not mine, but from another
Could I ever take a life? A son of someones mother?
A sisters little brother? Or the Devil undercover?
Something to wonder​
