Creative Focus, and the Playlists Behind Them

I’ve been a little radio silent the past few weeks, at least in terms of posting, because I’ve been chin-deep on a few things, both in terms of creative projects and other personal responsibilities. Nothing bad, mind you, just busy.

Two things have been my creative focus of late. One is finishing the draft of THE FENMERE JOB, the third Streets of Maradaine novel, and like all third novels in the Maradaine saga, there is a crossover element, which I’m sure you can suss out just from title alone.

The other is more in the developmental stage, but let’s just call it a Secret Project for now. But it will probably be a standalone thing to palate cleanse myself between Phase I and Phase II of the Maradaine Saga.

Both of these, I’ve got some inspirational music for, though I don’t tend to go full-on curated playlists. Rather, I tend to find thematic material and throw it together and then, in process, figure out which stuff really works for me.

In the case of The Fenmere Job, I’m leaning toward film scores from films that evoke the same feeling I’m going for. Here’s the spotify link for that one.

For The Secret Project, it’s got a very different feel from the other stuff, and the playlist matches it. As you can see, it’s largely focused on a specific artist. That might morph over time, though.

All right, back to the grind. Plenty to do over the next few days.
