    1. drewchial – When Drew Chial was very young, he found an attic hidden in his bedroom closet. He discovered it investigating an indentation in the ceiling, nudging it with a broom, until it fell inward. There was no stepladder for him to climb, so he scaled the shelves. Shining his flashlight, he found a long triangular hall, twice the length of his bedroom. Every surface was coated in pink insulation that made his skin itch. Creeping into the basement, Drew stole a sleeping bag that he unrolled on the attic floor. He set a tiny aluminum lock box on top of it. This is where he hid the things he wrote. Now Drew hides them in plain sight.

      It’s funny I wrote up an explanation for that but the Spotify link refused to work if I posted it in the same field.

      I like this playlist because it gives me a real noir vibe. These songs aren’t merely jazz. They’re dark jazz. These songs are perfect for writing horror, mystery, or slow burn thrillers. I seriously listen to this playlist at least once a day.

        In the past I’ve listened to the Silent Hill soundtracks whenever I was writing horror. They’re also worth checking out too.

        Also the Twin Peaks score is great and anything by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. Their score are ideal for horror writing.

      5. It’s so silly, I keep looking for music and completely forgetting NIN! I only ever think of them when I’m driving or in some place where I can’t write down a reminder. I used to love them too!

        NIN’s four disc instrumental album Ghosts is perfect for writing.

      7. Awesome! I’ll see what I can do to hunt that down 🙂 I generally like instrumental stuff when I’m writing. I get too influenced or distracted when there’s lyrics

        Wow, that’s an interesting 3 hour ambient mix. I’ve scanned through it a bit.
