Not a fan of Groban personally, but this is really the best version of this song I’ve heard. When to Listen: Touching scene for a touching song. This is one to listen to when you’re writing a solemn scene between some of your main characters. Something either before or after the big fight when they have some down time to express feelings. Readers, Do you … Read More From My Writing (Christmas!) Playlist #Music #Writing

This song is dumb. I mean downright dumb. Listen to the lyrics and the horrible things that they say about Africa. I know… I know… they meant Ethiopia, but they didn’t say Ethiopia, they said Africa. “There’s a world outside your window, and it’s a world of dread and fear Where a kiss of love can kill you, and there’s death in every tear … Read More From My Writing (Christmas!)

Oldie, but goodie. I love this song, especially the last minute where they’re singing the chorus without background. When to listen: This is definitely a song to play when writing a love scene. It works on multiple levels and gives a warm feeling for inspiration. Readers, Do you have a question about writing, publishing, my stories, etc?

The devil made me do it! You heard it, you cannot unhear it!! LMAO!!! What can I say, I’m all about all things dragons! When to listen: You all know where this song comes from. Honestly, dragonforce is as close to audio caffeine as you can get. General playlist any dragonforce song when you need a pick me up or are suffering from writer’s … Read More From My Writing Playlist #Music #Metal #Writing #Dragonforce

This band is a seriously acquired taste, but they grew on me over the span of a few years. When to listen: This is a powerhouse song. Full with a wide range of emotions… I would use this song as a descent into madness for one of my characters. Listen as you write their final fall.

Temperance is insane in some of the stuff they put out. Highly recommend giving them a listen. When to listen: This is a high stress, high pressure song. Listen to this when writing either during the final battle or during a high stress time, perhaps the initial conflict or something like that.

I hesitated posting this one because… It’s an acquired taste. I know, not for everyone, but it has a very melodic sound to it. When to listen: This is a world building song. You can focus on the lyrics or melody, either way, you’re going to get some kind of idea about the world you want to build. Readers, Do you have a question about … Read More From My Writing Playlist #Music #Metal #Writing

Not one of their newer songs, but I have to admit, this one grew on me. I’ve never really been a fan of their lead vocalist, but good music, good song topics (history/war), and a sort of neutral take is all something I very much enjoy. When to listen: As with most Sabaton songs, they’re really trying to tell a story. These are brainstorming … Read More From My Writing Playlist #Music #Metal #Writing

Not really on my playlist, but too good NOT to share. If ‘Masked Singer’ gives us nothing else… it gave us music legend Patti Labelle singing one of the best songs from Heart, one of the best ballad bands from the 80s. I’m satisfied with that! When to listen: Stop writing, sit back and enjoy, because this is something we’re not likely to get … Read More From My Writing Playlist
