a little more juju

Well, it’s the sixth day of NaNoWriMo, and you know what? Things aren’t going so badly! Day 2 was a little rough since I had to work over night, but I got it done before heading into work. Who needs sleep?

Since the story I’m writing has ties to the 1980s (Bubblegum Crisis and Blade Runner are pretty big influences), I’ve been listening to a lot of synthwave and honestly kind of reliving my childhood. I was born in 1983, so a lot of the 80s is kinda blurry for me, but I do remember a lot of these songs playing on the radio or on my parents’ record player. Looking back, my parents had really great music taste.

It feels weird saying that, actually.
