Taberna Artium/Artist's workshop
I love writing to music. Especially one that has a dark academia or cosy vibe to it. None of that lofi stuff. I prefer things that sound old, classical, calming, or artsy. Here is a small selection of some writing music I enjoy.
MELODIUM: Music for reading, writing or creating art
Using Pomodoro timers helps give me some order in my creative process. It's nice to know there'll be time to take a stretch, make another cup of tea, or simply walk around a bit.
I prefer minimal, non-AI-generated timers. Those that have a cosy, dark academia or naturesque vibe to them. Here are some I really like writing or creating art to.
