Invocations to the Muse.
Aug. 19th, 2011 01:14 pmSome days it takes longer to write than others. And on those days, I have two different tools I use to kick-start the creative process and inspire me. One is caffeine. The other is music.
There are songs that always seem to energize me, to get my brain moving, no matter what it is I am working on. Unlike my usual writing soundtracks, which remind me of some facet of my characters or plot; or convey the "feel" of what I'm working on, these have no specific connection to... anything, really, except the irrational portions of my brain which motivate me to tell people pretty lies about things (aka fiction).
I am, as always, interested to hear what you think (and what you listen to), but here's my inspirational playlist. It's not all inclusive and it's in no particular order, but it's still some of the most powerful weapons in my motivational arsenal.
