June of Doom & Gloom - Week 2 discussion and etc. post

[huinare]

Welcome to the second week of this thing!

How is everyone doing? Discussion, writers' angst, other stuff? Put it in this thread!

Also, discussion topic: Do you have music you're using or plan to use as inspiration for your stories or mood music during your writing process? This question extends to anyone, whether you are participating in the challenge or no: What are some songs, or types of music, that get you in the right mood for writing sorrowful or doomful fiction (or making art of the same nature)? Links or lyrics welcome!

"Weirdly philosophical" is a phrase that always gets my attention. I'll read what you've posted later this evening. The Thing I'm Supposed To Be Writing is also a Númenor thing.

Titles can sometimes be the biggest problem. A lot of the time I end up giving my stuff really literal titles (like my Istari story titled "Istari, circa 1040 T.A.") because nothing else comes to me. =P

Thanks for reading the excerpt. :) I'll be pleased to read your Númenor story if your writing process cooperates.

Titles are haaard! Heh. One could do worse. I might end up taking a line from the description of the ring in the Silm or the Lays of Beleriand if I can't think of anything better.
