Time for our monthly meeting of the Insecure Writer's Support Group! Hosted as ever by Alex J. Cavanaugh, the aim of the group is to offer a safe space where writers can share doubts and insecurities without fear of being judged. This month's co-hosts are Melissa Maygrove, Cathrina Constantine, Kate Larkinsdale and Rebecca Douglass.
After missing last month I'm not fooling around for our April 1 edition but going straight in with this month's IWSQ question, which is a fun one: If you have a playlist (or could put one together) that either gets you in the groove to write or fits with one of your books, what is it? What type of music or what songs?
I don't write with a playlist or any music on because I'm one of those writers who needs total silence and as few distractions as possible. That's not to say music isn't a huge inspiration to me in terms of scenes, ideas, characters - brain work in general. So I've delved into putting playlists together for my books in the last few years more with the aim of sharing with readers. But I might try using them when it comes to edits on my current works. I'd say my taste leans towards alt rock and the idea is each song links to a specific event, a theme in the book or just a vibe.
Here's the playlist for my book published a few years ago, The Becalmer:
