Writing is not always easy and takes a lot of time, patience, and critical thinking. In an effort to ease the process for myself, I have a few different tactics and resources that I use.

Some people like to write in silence, some prefer the bustle and energy of a busy Starbucks, and others like music. I am definitely in the third category! I have found a handful of relaxing and inspiring playlists on YouTube and Spotify that I like to turn to when I get in the writing mood. I have dropped a few of my favorites below for you to enjoy.

Relaxing Sleep Music & Rain Sounds is so relaxing and always puts my mind at ease.
This Dark Academia playlist makes me feel dramatic, broody, and ready to write something magical.
This Lo-Fi Beats playlist is one of the most popular on Spotify.
For something a bit less dramatic, Nature Sounds may be more your speed.
