♪♫ Playlists ♪♫

When I write, it's rarely in silence. I need music to evoke the mood or emotion I'm trying to portray. I choose songs not only for their beat and mood, but for the lyrics. You'll need to have Spotify to use the players; it's free through Facebook

On some playlists, I've provided a list of the individual titles and artists, along with scenes or character arcs/emotions inspired by the songs. You can click on the titles and they'll take you to the YouTube version.
