Inspirational Writing Music

I don't know about you, but I love writing to music. It helps prompt my ideas and get me into scene. I have to be careful about what I'm listening to because my writing is bound to take on some of those elements. I never listen to songs with lyrics (I'll just start writing out the song) but maybe you're better at concentrating than me. Of course, nothing beats silence when you really need to focus, but sometimes music can do wonders. If you're stuck or just want some fresh tunes, here's list of songs that I like to listen to when I write.

For those who like to get in the zone:
  • One hour of epic music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WU7SGn0MeP0
  • Two hours of emotional music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guXMb7zLblM
  • Two hours of epic music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeXoACwOT1o
  • One hour of epic Celtic music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORtsnpCSEJ0

    Hi, I'm Jessica! I'm on a mission to make my writing better in hopes of becoming a published novelist. It's been a crazy journey so far as I learn the twists and turns of the publishing world, but it's been worth it. Though I'm still learning how to be the best writer I can be, I'm excited to share what I learn with you. Happy writing!
