Out of habit I always have head phones on and they are attached to my i-pod or computer listening to music. I didn't realize my song selection affected my writing until I turned my protagonist into a she-wolf! Seriously, I am so not kidding (It's all good though and it turned out great)! Crazy as it sounds I also realized that if I am having trouble writing a scene I choose a song that I think could help. I can go back through each chapter and tell you what song I had playing (Good memory...I think NOT).
Here is a small (itty bitty tiny) playlist for Books 1&2
#1 Shakira She Wolf
Jason Mraz I'm Yours
Carolina Liar Show Me What I'm Looking For
Green Day 21 Guns
Green Day Wake Me Up When September Ends
Cold Play The Scientist
Cold Play Fix You
Laura Marling Ghosts
Evanescence My Immortal
Secondhand Serenade Your Call
Uncle Kracker Smile
Blue October Hate Me
Kate Earl Melody
Animal Kingdom Tin Man
Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here
Linkin Park Shadow of the Day
Jamie Foxx Blame It
Black Eyed Peas Meet Me Halfway
Anyone else find themselves doing this? If so, what is the song that most affected your writing.
PS I plan on watching Paranormal Activity this weekend. If you don't hear from me by Tuesday then I have been scared silly!

I have a habit of turning on inspirational music (music that suits the themes of the novel I'm working on) whenever I'm stuck. For my vamp novel Haven the playlist was a lot of Disturbed songs with "Down with the sickness" being the one I really connected with.
