Beats and the Beast

It’s amazing, the power of music. It can pull a memory to the surface so refined you'd swear you could smell the odors that infused the moment. Music can trigger an emotional response or diffuse one.  I like to write with music in the background. I need something as I find silence distracting. The television will suffice in a pinch; but when I’m looking to procrastinate the boob tube is always an eager suitor. But music, ah, music I can choose to match the mood of the scene I’m writing or to match my own mood depending on what I need to get the job done.

Maggie O’Connell, the heroine in Fated Souls, loves her music too.  She prefers rock & roll and likes it loud and dirty.  She blasts the radio in her car; she sings along, off-key; and she downloads “shamelessly”, by her own admission. But Maggie pays karmic justice by buying over-priced ticket prices for all the concerts she attends; and a large part of her wardrobe is made up of the tour tee-shirts she’s collected over the years. In fact, she’s wearing a Buckcherry tee-shirt when she and Aidan have their very first argument.

Because I often included the music that set the scene for me in the scene itself, you could make a playlist to accompany Fated Souls if you were so moved.  

Tell me, how does music move you?
