I am working on a new novel, actually it's been in the works for a few years, but I finally feel it's almost ready. Anyway, this weekend I was working through one of the hardest scenes in the book emotionally, and yes I'll admit I was a bit misty-eyed, when I heard a song. This song embodies the essence of what one of the main characters is feeling at that moment and if I were to see it playing on the big screen, this is the song that would be playing in the background. So I thought I would share the song, and as the novel moves along, I may give you a few more glimpses.
I actually found another version that gives a more powerful inference to my story with its visuals, however, the artists are amazing in both and the song is not only heartbreaking but beautiful.
So how does music influence your writing? Do you have playlists to help your vision come to life, do you need music playing while you write, or does it help you identify with your characters on a deeper level? I would love to know your thoughts on the subject.
I have something exciting to share. If you have been curious about my novellas, Takoda, Soyala(Time of Winter) In My Soul, or A White Dove Comes, you can now find them all in my new anthology, Tales of a Captive Heart. Check it out at Amazon!
In light of today being the vernal equinox, I have done some spring cleaning and brightened up my blog. Hopefully... this will be a new beginning for me, and I will be faithful in posting and keeping everyone updated on my latest work.
I've always let my imagination wander, but now I know that I can travel to other places and times all the while creating new characters and worlds along the way.
