Precisely.<br /><br />We too love music and see it as a perfect complement to writing, another amazing storytelling venue. (Sarah in particular is musically attuned and used to blog about songs lots. Steph loves movie scores.)<br /><br />Though we most often write to silence (all four of us) we do use music as a "soundtrack" to set the mood for our characters and scenes sometimes.We Heart YAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02418854853031344928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1961623852791581204.post-89782919210112230232012-02-10T15:58:40.021-05:002012-02-10T15:58:40.021-05:00I love this post!

There isn't a part of my day where I am not either listening to or thinking about music. I really see music visually as well. I see songs as sets of stories that I immerse myself in daily. <br /><br />I love knowing what authors' playlists are for their novels. I definitely have a better picture of the story they are telling when I listen to the music that inspired them. For some reason as well I gather inspiration for writing through music. I can't write without music on, because I feel like the stories in the songs inspire my characters and the story that unfolds along with them. <br /><br />Also Florence & Mumford and Songs are wonderful!Lauren https://www.blogger.com/profile/16571402196749447014noreply@blogger.com
