What music do they like?<\/h3>\n

Oooooh, it’s so hard to choose only one song! Music is such an important part of my writing process, it’s hard to narrow it down. (I don’t listen to music while writing, but find so much inspiration in songs — lyrical or instrumental — that I could probably connect at least one piece of music with each story I’ve written…)<\/p>\n

So I’ve cheated, and have chosen a few songs.<\/p>\n

Here’s a list of (some) favourites…<\/p>\n

Here is a video of a song that I adore. That guitar!! It doesn’t matter what style or genre of story I’m writing, this song will be playing on my iPod:<\/p>\n
