The Mer Music List

The Mer Music List

Recently I was checking my inbox and I’ve gotten questions inquiring what music I find connects me to my kintype. I find a variety of music helps me connect, but I find instrumentals and Celtic is the most prominent among the types.

Took a little bit to compile, there seems to be a bit more music for other major kintypes ( I’m looking at you fairies and vampires, you beautiful mythical beings) but not much in the way for Mermaids/Merpeople. But nevertheless I found some and without further ado, here they are in no particular order. 

*Beyond the Sea - Bobby Darin *Orinoco Flow - Enya *Caribbean Blue - Enya *Sailing - Celtic Women *The Call - Celtic Women *Sirens of the Sea - Oceanlab *Siren’s Song - Jon Foreman *Come Undone -Duran Duran *Atlantia - Secret Garden *Under the Sea - The Little Mermaid *Into the West - Annie Lennox ( from the LOTR Return of the King, by far my favorite on the list - I still cry when I listen to it 13 years later) *Infinity Ocean - Era *Return to Innocence - Engima *Ocean - Azam Ali &  Loga Ramin Torkian *Master of Tides - Lindsey Stirling *The Ocean - Oxygene

helpful sites for writers

i have a little collection of websites i tend to use for coming up with ideas, naming people or places, keeping clear visuals or logistics, writing basics about places i've never been to, and so on. i tend to do a lot of research, but sometimes you just need quick references, right? so i thought i'd share some of them!

Behind the Name; good for name meanings but also just random name ideas, regardless of meanings.

Fantasy Name Generator; this link goes to the town name generator, which i use most, but there are lots of silly/fun/good inspo generators on there!

Age Calculator; for remembering how old characters are in Y month in Z year. i use this constantly.

Height Comparison; i love this for the height visuals; does character A come up to character B's shoulder? are they a head taller? what does that look like, height-wise? the chart feature is great!

Child Development Guide; what can a (neurotypical, average) 5-year-old do at that age? this is a super handy quickguide for that, with the obviously huge caveat that children develop at different paces and this is not comprehensive or accurate for every child ever. i like it as a starting point, though!

Weather Spark; good for average temperatures and weather checking!

Green's Dictionary of Slang; good for looking up "would x say this?" or "what does this phrase mean in this context?" i love the timeline because it shows when the phrase was historically in use. this is english only, though; i dig a little harder for resources like this in other languages.
