Happy Spring!
Spring has finally sprung and it’s gorgeous outside. So, I’ll put aside my writing for a day or two and go out to enjoy the sunshine. Before I do that, I have written about how music plays an important role in my creative writing. As a writer, you write either fiction or nonfiction, you usually will use certain devices to get you in the mood to write. I use songs to get into the writing groove.
Song is one of the important device for me to induce my creative mind to put my ideas on the screen. I had blogged about it a couple of years ago and now I have several more songs to list and currently use for my next WIP (Work In Progress).

1. Kenny G’s music is still my favorite for listening whenever I need help getting into the mood for writing. So here are more of Kenny G’s music I’m currently listening: Forever In Love, Silhouette and Morning.
2. I have always admire the voice of the latest AI, David Archuletta. The song titled, You Can captured my imagination to write my current manuscript and I just love the energy he breathes through the song. I feel so inspired whenever I listen to it.
3. Songs by the post-grunge band, Nickelback titled, Far Away and Gotta Be Somebody. This song definitely helps me to write the emotional narrative for my male protagonist.
4. Endless Summer Night by Richard Marx. What can I say. I love the melody…
5. If I Ever Let You Go by Westlife. Again another great song by this band with a great lyric and tempo. It also helps me to capture great feeling I need for my male protagonist.
Like other devices, such as drinking coffee a little too much, constantly going to the kitchen to look for food in the refrigerator (hey! that’s me!) or going to the café around the corner and sit for hours to write, listening to your favorite songs definitely does the trick.
So, happy listenin’ and happy writin’.
