When I write at times I like complete silence, at others I want music. Hot, throbbing, pound music that makes me feel all the passion I want my characters to feel. I love music from Jem and Maroon5, I like pop music for the pounding beats. Something about a song that makes you want to move your body.
I fully believe that music can make us feel what we need to feel that moment. Happy, sad, in the "mood"; it can bring back memories, both good and bad, and good music, beautiful music, can change the world.
Do you have a playlist? I have Spotify and I love it! I have created playlists for my myriad of moods. lol. You can follow my Music to Put You in the Mood Playlist here. It's on Spotify of course.
When I hear a good beat, or something slow and throbbing, I can imagine my characters and their reactions to it. I can imagine their motions, I can see what they would say to each other. Body Rocking at it's finest is an a good beat and a great imagination.
So tell me, what do you listen to? I'm always open to music that rock me, that can help the scenes pour out.
