The Art of the Mixtape (Of Which I Know Nought)

As you may have read in a previous post, or gathered from the general gist of this blog, I kind of like to write. More than that, I like to use NaNoWriMo as a tool to create books that I then give to my friends as gifts. I learnt this from a John Green quote (he of Vlogbrothers fame). So that’s what I do. And it’s the fact that these books are gifts which makes them easy to do, because there’s a motivation other than myself.

But that’s only a small part of what I wanted to talk about. I added a mixtape with the last book that I gave out. Mainly because I thought it was a good idea and secondly, because being the writer I was able to shoehorn a cassette tape into the book to give the gift some context. It was easy enough, the main character gets a tape as a birthday present.
