Playlist

Just wanted to take a minute to bring up the subject of playlists since it's on my brain right now and since it's something I've discussed with a few people recently.  I never understood the purpose of having a playlist in regards to writing until I actually started doing it myself.  Let me just say that I greatly underestimated the influence music can have on your creativity.  I have found that sometimes you run across songs that exemplify what you are trying to convey in your writing so much that it seems like they were written solely for your own personal inspiration.  They stick with you...become a background for your story in a sense.  So, just wanted to share a bit of my current "writing playlist" that really nails the inner turmoil of one of my characters.


I'm also constantly moved and inspired by Passenger. Their lyrics are amazing! They are both extremely talented artists that are great in their own right.  If you aren't familiar with them, you are missing out and should really take the time to check them out.
