30 Day Writing Challenge - Day Twenty Six - Song
It's actually Christmas Eve as I write this post, and I'm listening to Christmas music as I work. At the moment it's John and Yoko's Christmas carol - I think Mariah is up next.I often listen to music when I write - I find it can get me into a flow where the music inspires the writing. Each of my books have a song or piece of music that 'belongs' to them, which is handy when I switch between WIPs. For example, I just have to hear the second movement of Beethoven's 7th to be instantly transported to Ambeth, while Savage Garden's 'I Want You' is Silver and Black's song of choice. Sometimes I just put the playlist on shuffle and see what comes up - you never know.But at this time of year it's Christmas songs whenever I can get them. Shane McGowan has just started singing, and I'm about to be transported to New York for a love story with a dark twist.However you're spending the holidays, I hope you enjoy them.
