Enter at Your Own Risk

Welcome to this blog. I am known as Aristaria Lisvacor but let's stick with Aris. Most thoughts, whether carefully put into the order of events in which they came or just written haywire everywhere, will be put on this blog. Comments on those thoughts would be greatly appreciated and I do have copyrights. Now, into the mind of the writer you go. ~Aris~

Music for the Words



Hello again readers! What inspires you to write? What inspires your writing? What do you do when you have writer’s block?

A lot of things push my imagination into overdrive, thus my stories are invented. One of the big things that help me when I have writer’s block is music. The melodies also paint pictures in my mind. They evoke my own emotions, which in turn makes me want to write.

When I am ready to write or I am stuck, I plug in my ear buds, go onto Youtube , and listen to my favorites list. Soon, I am creating something.

Sometimes, the songs do not even fit the scene. Thy just get me in a pensive, writing mood. Right now, ‘Small Bump’ by Ed Sheeran is fueling my craft. You can listen to the Song by clicking on 'Song'. :)

Writing help



Hello readers! I don’t know about you, but sometimes I procrastinate with my writing. I get distracted by housework, my pets, a video, or something on Facebook. Often music will help get me back into the swing of things, but it doesn’t always help.  When that happens, I look to Write or Die. It’s a tool that allows the writer to set a time limit and word goal. Once the write button is clicked, the writer just starts typing.  If you stop, the screen goes red and an annoying sound blames (a siren or ‘Mmmm-Bop’ for example). It gets louder and louder until the writer starts up again. There is a desktop and iPad version you have to pay for, but there is also a web version that’s free.  You can read more about this product and even try it out right here: http://writeordie.com/#Web+App .
