Also, what's the best book you read this year?

I'm a very curious human! Tell me! haha

#linktober 02 | companion

I went mushroom hunting today with my partner, whom is my encyclopedia for identifying mushrooms. I thought, what if Link’s furry companion in the wild helps him along too? Mushrooms must past a thorough inspection each time Link picks one up! Very very serious inspection! 🍄‍🟫🐶

If it sounds like the composer is trying to blast you with the orchestra until you're as deaf as he is, it's Beethoven.

If it sounds like the composer might be a vampire, it's Bach.

If it sounds like the composer is trying to set the violins on fire, it's Vivaldi.

This has probably already been made, but it's been my mood throughout the day. Can't wait for @inklings-challenge to begin tomorrow!!

I want you to write for pleasure—to play. Just listen to the sounds and rhythms of the sentences you write and play with them, like a kid with a kazoo. This isn’t “free writing,” but it’s similar in that you’re relaxing control: you’re encouraging the words themselves—the sounds of them, the beats and echoes—to lead you on. For the moment, forget all the good advice that says good style is invisible, good art conceals art. Show off! Use the whole orchestra our wonderful language offers us! Write it for children, if that’s the way you can give yourself permission to do it. Write it for your ancestors. Use any narrating voice you like. If you’re familiar with a dialect or accent, use it instead of vanilla English. Be very noisy, or be hushed. Try to reproduce the action in the jerky or flowing movement of the words. Make what happens happen in the sounds of the words, the rhythms of the sentences. Have fun, cut loose, play around, repeat, invent, feel free.
