Muse... speak to me!

Writers need a muse, and said muses can be a little bitchy at times, keeping you waiting when you are ready for a writing session or showing up in the middle of your sleep. Mine loves to come out when I have music on. One song and you get the story of a lifetime, a love story, a break-up, sorrow, all of the emotions you can think of.

I am not going to lie, books also help my muse’s selfish attitude, but as often as music does, so below is a short soundtrack of some of the songs I listened to constantly while re-writing and revising Feathermore.

The Pretty Reckless – Make me Wanna Die

Within Temptation – Dark Wings

Plumb – Cut

Within Temptation – The Howling

30 seconds to Mars – This is war

Within Temptation – Jillian

The Pretty Reckless – Just Tonight

Now, there are probably a 100 more songs that I replayed once or twice, but nothing like these. Anything by Within Temptation is gold for my ears, so you can usually find it in the background when I write.

At the moment though, I am a little obsessed with “Safe and Sound” by Taylor Swift, It is such a sad lullaby. What song/s do you have on replay? Tell me, I am always looking for new music. I am currently writing the second book on the Feathermore Trilogy, so I am open for new music

My writing Soundtrack

Being a mother of two I seem to only find peace and quiet in the still of the night to write, when everyone is fast asleep. The silence, however, can sometimes be mind blocking (at least for me), so here is a list of some of the songs i keep on replay while writing. Enjoy!
