It certainly helped me keep the mood. Have a great new week, RolandRoland D.

I burn cd's to use as I write as well. We're kindred spirits, you, Jeana and I! RolandRoland D.

As you mentioned in your comments, each of my main characters has a composition that I often hear in my mind when I write of them. Scenes have their own melodies to them often as well. <br /><br />Sam McCord's last great battle in a realm some call Hell had DARK CHEST OF WONDERS by NIGHTWISH as its core melody. I wish you success in your publication dreams.<br /><br />WordsCrafter :<br />This grueling weekend was certainly one for the book! I pray that your health quickly improves.<br /><br />I'll have to do research on our DNA and musical notes.<br /><br />Tomorrow I am off, so it THOR in 3D for me! Have a beautiful week yourself, RolandRoland D.

I honestly don't know how anyone could write without music.<br /><br />Wasn't it a character in Eddie and the Cruisers that said something about words and music?<br /><br />Did you know our DNA makes music? It's mentioned in the Bible and science has proved it. <br /><br />I hope you're getting some rest after your grueling day! Take care and I hope your week is kind to you :)The Words Crafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14520267901489487512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-25973784913629976322011-05-09T22:11:37.042-05:002011-05-09T22:11:37.042-05:00I've read more than a few posts on the importa...I've read more than a few posts on the importance of music, but this takes the prize! You said important things well, and it's much apreciated.<br />I have a friend who paints and listens to the same album for the whole work. That may be tedius for a whole book, but something similar may be helpful, like a playlist for each character, or act.Will Burkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10158149526658590324noreply@blogger.com
