My NaNo project for this year is likely The Archivalist : Charming
a.k.a. Librarian Glam Vol. 1

The last time I tried to jumpstart this project (not the first, nor even the third) I made a playlist involving a lot of Baroque classical pieces.

Because it's a gaslamp fantasy about noblewomen raised to be political maneuverers, informants, and, if they are chosen, the keepers of the world's most important archives, the only ones who know how to get past the locks.

Dance music, light and proper, should be the order of the day, no? It's a parlor-politics world.

Apparently not?
The songs haunting my brain are more indie-sounding, a little more 90s than anything with their big, open sounding reverb effect...

Apparently for this story, the sound of the dark nights and empty streets is actually the most important.

One of the few reasons I think this book is ready to be written, finally. It's finally fessing up to its tastes in music.

Suzanne Vega - Penitent
one of the songs I've had on repeat, as obsessively in love as I am with autumn

autumn, nanowrites, librarian glam
