I have an entire world in my head, and with it, an entire populace. Each member seeking my attention. Each begging for their story to be told. But where to begin if there is no beginning. These people, they exist and how they came to being is a mystery to them as much as me it would seem. All they know is that there was a time of creation. A time in which beings beyond their comprehension

It's been a long while since I've written for the joy of it in a creative way. I've been working to correct that by looking at the very roots of the times that I felt most creative and it all stems from music. There is nothing quite so inspirational or joyous as music to twist around your thoughts and ideas, lift them up, and then send them adrift. Funny enough, not all of the music that does
