matt_doyleCoffee and Linkin Park seem to have done the trick -- 805 words written on Chapter Three of A Stain Upon His Hands. Of course, that doesn't help me at all where I'm stuck back in Chapter Two...
Anyway, it's weird how listening to the right pieces of music can trick me into working on certain stories instead of others. Does anyone else have that happen to them? Linkin Park, Evanescence, Foo Fighters, Hoobastank, Rob Dougan, Three Doors Down -- that's all Romance of Blood music for me, RIHV or ASUHH or, God help me, Always Near Her Heart, which really needs a better blood-themed title.
Are the blood-themed titles too much? I mean, at my most pretentious this trilogy wasn't even Romance of Blood, it was Roman du Sang, ugh collegiate literary aspirations.
Anyway, Knight of the Star was Loreena McKennit, Heather Dale, and David Carter & Tracy Grammar, fittingly enough I think. But it was mostly a music-less bit of writing.
Hellion Prince and the Allotment are.... my God, I haven't actually looked at what's on the playlist in ages. No wonder I'm stuck, I don't listen to it any more. Um. Chevelle, Empires, Thrice, The Fray, All-American Rejects, Sarah McLachlan, Muse, & Placebo.
What do you listen to when you write, and how does it shape what you write? How and why do you pick the music for each soundtrack? And do you care how and why I pick mine? I could go on about it for a while, if anyone is interested.
