Ten Pieces To Write About - videogame edition

Wooo hey, sorry about the lateness with this, I was having quite the weekend! This should serve as a lesson for myself to schedule posts more often. I'll post the flash fiction monday later in the day. Roll a d10 (or generate a random number from 1 to 10). Compare it with the list below and listen to the piece. Preferably with big comfy headphones, and preferably with your eyes closed while doing nothing else, but maybe you're time-crunched. Write something based on the piece. (Some of these do have lyrics, by the way, so if you want to do something with that, be my guest.) Share it in the comments— or not, I’m not the boss of you.

Ten Lyrics To Write About - non-English language edition

 Sometimes I sneak in songs in other languages (mainly Spanish) into the Sunday inspiration posts. Not today though. Today, they're ALL non-English! Most of them are in Spanish, yes, because that's what I understand, but I like to think there's more variety this time! You know the drill. Roll a d10 (or generate a random number from 1 to 10). Compare it with the list below. Write something based on the result! You don't actually have to have heard the song, you can just read the quote and let your imagination fly! Share it in the comments— or not, I’m not the boss of you. Moon, you want to be a mother and yet don’t want to be made a woman [Luna, quieres ser madre y no encuentras querer que te hagan mujer] ( Hijo de la Luna ; Mecano ) Mother was the devil for being old, this man was the devil for being evil [Madre es diablo por vieja, este señor era diablo por ser malo] ( Se Oye Negra, Incolora ; Ruiz-González ) You can never fight again, your sword will not speak to...
