Elspeth's Official Playlist for "Of Glens and Ghosts"

Elspeth's official playlist

Concept:

In my mind, I always write better fiction content while listening to a playlist that I have based on the themes of the story or on the personalities of my characters. And if I'm reading another person's piece of fiction, I love finding songs that match the vibes of the story to make the writing more concrete—which increases my levels of focus and engagement. I created this playlist to listen to while writing the drafts of my first full-length fantasy novella Of Glens and Ghosts, as well as for any reader who comes across my page that shares this common interest with me. This novella is based on a 36-page fanfiction I had written two years ago for a class, that I have posted on this Wattpad account along with a book of original poems. Now that I've been over the hurdle of writing 36 pages of fanfiction as an undergrad, I wanted to try my luck with the original characters I used and get a more original story written down.

As the spring semester at my university's English Education program winds down and summer begins, I will try to commit to writing more content for the novella now that I will have more free time and new inspirations for my characters, due to the new experiences I have gained over the last year. Of Glens and Ghosts is Elspeth's story, and this playlist is the unofficial trailer (and spoiler) for certain themes, concepts, and ideas I have played around with in my writing drafts before coming up with the idea to make a playlist. This playlist will also be updated whenever I find a song that matches the concepts in my book. Have fun interpreting the poetry of these artists to figure out the common themes of my story—and look forward to reading the first few chapters for Of Glens and Ghosts soon!
