I really enjoy music in my daily life. I am familiar with a large variety of music styles and genre's. So it should come as no surprise that I like to have music when I write. I can't have just any music though. I need something that helps with my mood, to get me into the proper frame of mind for what I am writing.
When I wrote Jeremy's Kiss, there was one song that really hit the right now for me while writing, other than that I simply used a radio or something similar and kept it turned low for background noise. The song was "Bloodletting" by Concrete Blonde (and if you don't know already, Jeremy's Kiss is a Vampire story).
My current work in progress, Island of Regrets, actually has it's own playlist. In fact, I created the playlist on YouTube and that is what I use when I am working on Island of Regrets. It's only about 20 songs, so it can play through fairly quickly, but that is ok by me. I am sharing my playlist here. You are welcome to listen to and enjoy the music I write to. You may even want to challenge yourself to figure out the real theme of the music and what that might say about the book I am working on.

The only other thought I will share about music right now is that I am sure I am tired of listening to Taylor Swift go over her broken relationships in her songs. Oh well, maybe it's just me, because the radio stations don't seem to agree.
