Hello folks! Today's video is a new experiment! I've put together a soundscape for you to write to. In essence, I hope this sounds like you're writing in a meadow, the sound of a stream not too far away. Someone (me!) plays guitar in the distance. Use this to write/study to, or even as a writing sprint timer! HEADPHONES RECOMMENDED!
