I have songs that remind me of my books, but not one that set the mood.

Before I start writing, I need to "cast" my characters so that I clearly "see" them, then I move off to all the other details. I don't know why this process works for me, I'm just happy when it does.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005062827798430682.post-78609446412691108552014-04-09T18:59:49.088-04:002014-04-09T18:59:49.088-04:00This book sounds fantastic.
