Fascinated to hear this process! For me it’s Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time. And the bits swirling around for me now are Norse mythology (the fates, tree of life), gender identity, creativity as magic, and braiding or spiraling narrative vs a linear hero’s journey (I’m working on a fantasy novel.)

my first boyfriend maintained that Wheel of Time is the best fantasy series ever. I've never read it -- should I? Love all those little threads of ideas. Sounds like you've got the makings of something exciting!

I love this glimpse into your creative process! I wish I had musical talent- it's a dream of mine to be able to write songs. The artists that light me up these days are all three boygenius boys. True beauty

boygenius had some great songs this year on their album! really loved "not strong enough" (but who didn't) and "cool about it"

I’m sure what you’ll do will be infinitely a better collection! I’m completing an EP myself, so much respect for jumping into it!

Thanks! Mixing it now. It’s a process and a fun one at that. And with another album’s worth of ideas for after this.
