I sleep with a notepad and flashlight on my nightstand. Shockingly, it turns out that paralyzing stage fright is in no way conducive to being a musician the quiet solitude of authordom is much more my speed.Ĥ. Much of my college career was spent at music school studying percussion performance. I always knew that I wanted to do something creative with my life, and in fact started my writing career penning songs. Every scene in every novel has a corresponding song that plays in my head (yes, it’s rather noisy in there!)ģ. Whether I’m writing it or reading it, I throw together a playlist of songs that fit the story and generally listen to it obsessively on repeat until I start a new book. I find it makes the words flow much easier than if I were to be surrounded by silence.Ģ. I usually choose a punchy, up-tempo Pandora station to play in the background as I’m pounding away at the keyboard. I always have music on while I’m writing.
