I was born with music in my blood. I love everything to do with music (80s rule!!) but I can’t write with music (music with lyrics) in the background. Today I came to a coffeeshop to write with my iPod loaded with instrumentals, but I found myself able to work on my essay with Paul Simon in the background. I even found myself singing along to one of his songs I haven’t heard in over two decades.
What music makes your heroine sing? Even if she’s in a place where singing out loud isn’t acceptable, what song on the radio would make her sing? (or hum?). What does that song reveal about her character? Is there a way that song can play into your story’s theme?
