Since I’m up late writing tonight, I figured it couldn’t hurt to turn on Napster and let the music play in the background whilst I was working.

What’s on the playlist?

“When You Say Nothing At All” by Alison Krauss. This song relaxes me. It’s a soft song. Airy.

“Why Don’t You And I?” by Santana and Chad Kroeger (I think?).  Uh, my daughter informed me it’s “Alex Band”. Sorry about that. The song’s still bouncy. Upbeat. Feel-good music.

“Say My Name” by Within Temptation. Air song. Flowy. Dreamy. This is the song I call the “theme song” for my book: The Legacy Of Sleepy Hollow. I listened to this song over and over while writing that book, and I could “feel” my characters. See them. Hear them. Knew their hearts and souls…and this song ran through them all. <sigh>

I was sorry to type the words “The End” because I didn’t want my people to leave me. It’s a great book. I’m so proud to have written it. Can’t wait, though, for the movie.

“Dance With The Devil” by Breaking Benjamin. Gritty song. Active. Thrumming…like a heavy heartbeat when you’re running for your life. Someday I think I’ll write a scene that fits the feel of this song.

…and finally…

“Ordinary” by Train. A mixed song. Gritty and airy at the same time. Determined. Yes. This is a “determined” song. I like it.

What’s in your playlist?
