By listening to the character's songs, I can put myself right into their head. My last WIP was about an aspiring writer who breaks free of her strict Southern Fundamentalist upbringing, so I was all about "Unwritten" by Natasha Besingfield.Arabellastokeshttp://arabellastokes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898084201599138650.post-10950124811723001242012-05-04T05:09:53.523-07:002012-05-04T05:09:53.523-07:00WIP Part one: The Scientist by Colplay

So music can really inspire.<br /><br />The book I'm writing now? CIRCLE OF DECEPTION's would be Baby Did A Bad Bad Thing by Chris Isaak. Love his music. (You need to check out the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abzK_jZdKFw&feature=related <br /><br />By the way, if I get to write the one after DECEPTION, the song will be Wicked Game by Chris Isaak. Oh, yeah. Talk about sexy.

Economical AND entertaining. :D I have one for the heroine in the YA I'm working on, and it suits her so perfectly--from the lyrics to the pacing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-blLITc5Xs<br /><br />My hero was a little harder to pin down, as it took me longer to get to know him. I couldn't seem to get the right sound that would properly summon him into my mind. He turned out to be adequately angsty, but more mellow than I was expecting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFRkpvvop3I&feature=relmfu <br /><br />~Angela BlountAngela N.

The theme song then and now is So Close from the movie "Enchanted." I happened upon the song while I was writing the book and it was PERFECT! Normally I can't write to anything with lyrics (I'll start to sing along instead of write ~grin~) but was listening to a Pandora channel that slipped this song in.
