Music to Write to

I have been writing stories and papers for classes more continuously and I have begun to notice that there are certain songs that help cultivate ideas and motivate my writing. Lots of times I watch television while I am writing because I have found myself writing for class more often than writing for my own projects but it never feels as special as when I am writing to my favorite songs. I feel the ideas come quicker and I stay in the writing mood longer when I have certain songs billowing in the background.

I get stuck with writers block very often so I look to any medium that will cure that quickly and shockingly music has been the best one, besides watching my favorite television shows but that will almost immediately turn into a Netflix binge session and then I get nothing done because why write when there are already good shows? Good question! I write because I like to be in control of what happens, I like to challenge myself to push that creativity and write something that other people find indulgence in, and I write simply because it is the best way for me to let all the passion built up inside of me become a little bit less bombarding.

This playlist is going to seem like a bit of hodge-podge thrown together but when songs are powerful and make you feel a certain type of way... They just don't fit fluidly in a playlist together. Each of these songs have strong memories for me, each and every one evokes an emotion that helps me write. Whether it be scene description, dialogue, or background there are certain feelings that help me to pursue those properly and to write well. Am I a good writer? There is always room for improvement.

So let's just call this first list of songs...

Music to Write to #1 (how clever, I know)

I put it in a mini Spotify playlist for easy access and if you are like me at all then you'll want to be able to save this! And Spotify is my go to (sorry Pandora & iTunes). I'll make more of these if people enjoy them or if I feel like people want to know more about why these songs inspires me I could write about that too.

I hope you enjoy!

Until next time!

Sincerely & lovingly,
