Today, I sent out my newsletter with the creative thing that helped me the most this week.

Also, I listened to an episode of the fiction podcast The Magnus Archives. There’s this thing they do with the sound design where when there’s a true supernatural element entering into the story, there’s these upsetting string sounds. It’s the kind of thing that’s subtle enough that it takes you a few episodes to realize the pattern (sorry for spoiling it for you, but it’s still worth listening to!). It’s the kind of thing I’d like to try and capture in writing one day. But, I have no idea how I would actually achieve that on the page. Sound is such an interesting medium that way.

How were you creative today?

Love and gratitude, as always.

Today, I listened to an episode of the fiction podcast The Magnus Archives. This podcast was maybe one of my first real entries into horror as a genre, and it’s had a profound influence on my novel. The premise is that they let people record their experiences with the paranormal, and in each episode, you’re hearing someone’s statements. Eventually, it develops bigger arcs, but the one-shot episodes are really impactful.

I’m in the middle of revising my novel, and since The Magnus Archives influenced a lot of the book, I’ve decided to go back to them. I’m sure they’ll appear in this blog more.
