Manifest! Manifest! Manifest!
I worked nights, I slept late. It was summertime in Florida and it must have been the heat that woke me up. I was slippery with sweat. My window AC unit was dead. It didn’t matter. I just had the most electric connection with a woman that I had never even met. I’m not talking about sexting with someone on Tinder. This was literally the girl of my dreams.

Choose Your Own Adventure Playlist
As a kid, I always loved the promise that came with a new book. The added bonus of choosing my own adventure gave me a feeling of power over the narrative. Now as a writer, every story I craft is my own little adventure. I decide the tone and the feel of every scene and I rarely know where it’s going to take me. With this playlist method I’ve crafted, I can visualize the scene I want to write and handpick a soundscape to match. When I finally come out of the scene and take a look around me, it suddenly occurs to me that I had left my body and been transported directly into the story. I become so engrossed that I can easily be frightened by someone just walking into the room because it creates such a sudden shift in my reality.
