I have a playlist for The Mermaid Pact! I don’t know how much I’ll listen to it, since I have an assortment of things to listen to. I’ll be listening to my podcasts, of course, and I’m sure I’ll be listening to Pandora too, especially since I added a few new stations yesterday.
I went with a variety of songs this year- there isn’t any particular reasoning behind most of the songs. I just went with things that seem to fit the characters and the novel itself.
I started making playlists for my novels back in 2008, and while it’s not the only thing I listen to when writing, I have found it useful to occasionally add in music that the characters might listen to. Basically, I listen to whatever I feel like listening to: whatever may help me keep writing and is providing some inspiration is what I’ll listen to.
And here, we have a selection of songs from a 61 song playlist:
1- Lily’s Theme from HP And The Deathly Hallows, Part 2 soundtrack
3- Lovely by Sara Haze
4- Wave Bye Bye by the Gin Blossoms
6- ’til Death by Oliver Boyd and the Remembralls
8- If I Die Young by The Band Perry
10- Heart of my Own by Basia Bulat
21- Don’t Know Why by Norah Jones
27- The Big Lie by Sara Haze
37- Miss Invisible by Marie Digby
41- Sing by My Chemical Romance
48- Boys and Girls by Pixie Lot
53- Painting Pictures of Egypt by Sara Groves
59- My Sweet Song by Toby Lightman
60- Shine by Sara Haze
61- Dumbledore’s Army from the HP And The Order Of The Phoenix soundtrack
That’s it for this installment of music, and I’ll be back tomorrow with a post about my second novel for the month.
