Hey, happy Friday y’all!!!

I’m in a really super good mood today because I just turned in my FINAL assignment for school this semester… last night! And now I have, like, all this time for writing and painting and vegging… and blogging, too!

So, I am here today, blogging, on my first day of winter break (just from school, that is- I’ve still got nanny-ing for two more weeks until the Holidays roll around), and I have crafted for you… writing playlist suggestions for every mood that your book may contain!

The idea of this is, like, you can pick which mood suits the scene you are trying to write or figure out, and then you can play these few songs that go with that mood to get you, literally, in the mood. My suggestion would also be to look up some of these in YouTube or something, and then let the auto-playlists take it from there (but don’t let it take you too far because we all know those auto-plays can get pretty weird/creepy/strange the deeper you go into them…).

So, I picked three songs for each category that I personally like because, well, any more would be a lot of work on my part and who knows if anyone will actually use what I’ve typed up (but, please, I hope you do!). Anyway, though, here’s all the moods and matching songs I’ve come up with to help push you through your moodiest of scenes!
