First, Elaine’s query is over at The QQQE today with Matt’s review coming tomorrow.  Pop over there and get a sample of her brilliance. 🙂

Second, Rosalyn had her baby (YAY!!!) but he arrived 2 1/2 months early and while things are going well so far, we would love extra prayers being sent to her and her baby boy.

And now for the post.  Music.

I am a music junky.  I have it playing all the time.  My new love is Grace Potter and the Nocturnals – can’t get enough of them right now. 

I used to hear people talk about playlists that they would use to inspire or help with character development and I didn’t really think about it much until I was struggling writing the relationship between two of my characters and they sounded like high school drama students reciting lines from a play for the first time – ultimate flat.  Enter Jason Mraz’s I Won’t Give Up and when I heard the lyrics, the characters started fleshing out better. It just clicked.

Have you had music help with your writing?
