NaNoWriMo Day 8: Cranking the Tunes

Wow, it's wet out today—but not freezing rain, thank goodness. We are in for some snow this weekend though, which means I probably won't be outside much. Aside from shovelling.

Perfect weather for writing, though.

The only trouble is, everyone is inside—Mom, Dad, my sister—and that can get a little noisy and distracting. So to block out the noise, I'm spending time today creating my playlist.

Listening to music always gets me fired up, and for every story, I try to find songs that remind me of the story, without distracting me from it.

That's what a writing playlist SHOULD do—inspire you to write. Whether it's the lyrics, the beat, or just the sound of noise to break up the quiet spots in your mind. Sometimes writing can be a bit immersive, you know?

For this story, I'll be on the look-out for a few haunting songs, and I'm going to ask some of my friend for suggestions. But if you have ideas, drop them in the comments below.

Gotta jet! Good luck with those NaNoWriMo goals...may the words be with you...
