Writing Music: I Am Gold
17:43
I don’t know about you, some days, I’m too tired to feel
positive about my writing. On days like those I look at the words on the screen
and wonder how on earth I’m going to take this pile of rubbish and turn it into
a book. But it’s surprising what a piece of music can do to change my mood and
get me feeling good again. Today I’d like to share a piece of music that always
makes me feel better on those difficult days.
I Am Gold is part
of a little known genre, African Dubstep. It’s a very positive, upbeat piece,
and was actually written with a very positive message in mind. In the note
under the video, Alex Boye says “I believe we become what we think about most
of the time. I developed this thing with myself called bronze silver and I am
gold conversation. Athletes seem to know this. Those who think like a gold
medalists, are most likely to get the gold. I believe that is the same with
life.”
This piece gives me a feeling of hope and determination. I
want that gold medal for my writing. For me at the moment, that gold medal is
to get to the end of this draft. For you, that gold medal might be something
else. Whatever you’re shooting for, be positive about it. Think like a gold
medallist. Because that’s what you are.
What music makes you
feel positive and motivated? What’s your gold medal?

I do love the message and the positive feeling to this piece. I'm so glad you enjoyed listening to it too. I wasn't sure if people would like the African Dubstep. I think it's really unique and awesome myself. Thank you for following my blog!
