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!

I had a nearly finished reply to this comment and then, by some arcane sorcery surely invoked by that song, my computer froze and I had to reboot.

Anyway,
(except for something... really bizarre and graphically sexual...? Where the hell did that come from?)
Bwahaha do tell!

That does sound like something I could see playing in the background while people are getting high in Utumno; kind of...ominous drone-y.

When it comes down to it, I find that I'm much more shy about putting this sort of thing out there than my personal outlook/history/reading habits would suggest. I've actually contemplated setting up another pseudonym just for this story idea.

So in other words, I might do it, but followers of June of Doom & Gloom might not ever know about it. Is that weird? Probably.

Ah. Frankly I'd probably feel the same way in that situation!
