Blogging / process / solo project??

Q: Hello!! Fan writing from Columbia South Carolina. A friend and I have been discussing a blossoming indie sleaze revival (Anonymous Blogging, Social media account deletion, cutting off nearly every single original hem of the band t-shirts in our closets), and I was wondering how you went about creating this website. This could be a phenomenon localized entirely within my friend group, but I've been kind of hunting for something similar to this for a while now, any tips would be LOVELY!

Do you have any particular writing process for songs? Your lyrics seem to just have this special quality to them that feels like you just uncovered them in the music itself; I can only imagine that that comes with years and years of practice and four-- soon to be five-- original albums, but if you had any breakthroughs in your perspective on writing while developing your skills that would be wonderful to read about.

Not to glamorize or put you on a pedestal, but I admire your lyrics for the way that the south is portrayed in an honest way. I find it to be absurdly common to have the south demonized in popular (and underground culture) and seeing your love for the south spill through in your lyrics hits home and it makes me feel like i'm not crazy for loving the south despite it's flaws. If u r ever in Columbia on a Friday or Saturday night, stop by New Brookland Tavern! It's a smallish music venue (about 300 cap?) that I run sound for sometimes.

P.s., do you have any hopes for a solo project in the future? Either music or another medium?

A: I just made this website with Squarespace! Neocities is another website building hub to try that’s more accessible $ wise, although the learning curve seems steeper there. There’s website building stuff in the “Resources” tab of this website!

I’ve answered a few asks about my writing process on here! They should be archived under tags underneath posts like “process” or “creativity” or “songwriting” etc. I’ll tag some of those categories on this post for easy access but here’s a direct link to the song writing tag!

No plans for a solo project anytime soon, I love playing with my bandmates too much <3

I have been experimenting with writing in other mediums though, more info on that eventually!

How I Made My Website

Q: Hey Karly wondering what platform you used to make this website. Losing my mind to socials and this has me feeling really inspired, first time i've felt that way online in a while... B)
Thank u! - Jane

A: Yooooo! I already had my squarespace account for years to sell my merch but I finally got around to really personalizing it and once I started I couldn’t stop! So that’s what im usin. It is sooo fucking fun to have a little corner of the internet for yourself.

I actually put a section on the site (the resources tab) for how to make ur own website! Squarespace is easy but a lil pricey for some people especially if you aren’t selling stuff on i to recoup the $. But Neocities and tumblr are free! I mostly just got off tumblr cause they technically owned my blog whereas I own the domain for this one! :) which feels cool

I highly suggest surfing through neocities sites for more inspiration they are so COOL
