Music I listen to: what I recommend.

Hi all! I'm going to talk to you about what is an important part of writing for me.

The music.

I love music, it's my other passion, so I have to have some off to get in the zone.

What do I listen to, you might ask?

Singer-Songwriter music mostly. Anna Nalick, Sara Bareilles, Ingrid Michelson, Ed Sheeran, Alex G, Colbie Calliat, The Fray, that sort of stuff. This works great for me, but others also love movie soundtracks, metal, or dubstep. It depends on what you're writing and what gets you in the zone. But just dot around with all kinds of stuff until you find what works for you.

A snippet of my mind...

In my dreams, I see words. They float around, just out of my reach. I wonder what they say, what story they tell. What lesson they teach. But even as I more forward to reach them, they pull back, not wanting to come out. A secret running away from it’s keeper. But when I wake, I feel them. I can almost hear them. The words. They fall upon me, begging to break out onto the blank page of my notebook. But then, I fall to the ground, defeated by the words. Because the words are too strong. Too powerful. But still, beautiful and fair. And though I know if I go any closer, run for them, I will fall. Because gorgeous as they are, they are deadly. They will kill me when the story comes to an end. Because all words have a beginning and an end, but the end is always more brutal. For the end, is when the story’s heart stops beating, and when it does, it takes a piece of my soul with it.
