I have always loved music. As much as I love words, I truly think there is nothing that makes me happier than singing. Growing up, I was in church choir, school choir and show choir. I even sang a bit in college. So it’s no wonder that this source of joy has found it’s way into my creative process. Sometimes music lifts my spirits. Sometimes is bolsters my determination. Sometimes it influences my mood and seeps into my work. Sometimes it’s simply a blanket of white noise that allows me to focus and create. But no matter what I’m hoping the music will do, it always makes me happy.

Today’s blog post round up is all about music and the way it influences me as a writer and authorpreneur. I hope that you find a bit of inspiration or helpful ideas in this list of past posts and also, that if you have ideas of your own on this topic, you’ll share them in the comments.

Happy reading, listening and creating,

Amanda

P.S. Did you watch the VMA’s on Sunday!?!?!?

If you simply need a soundtrack of calm instrumentals to act as a blanket of white noise and cancel out the chaos around you so that you can focus? I’ve got you covered on that front too. Just click here or on each video below. And the, go write!

So what do you think?

Will you be creating a playlist to accompany your work-in-progress? What songs fuel your creation? How does music influence you as a creator?

Finally, affiliate marketing is promoting a product or service in return for a commission. When you purchase a product or service through one of my links, I earn a small part of the sale. There is NEVER any extra cost to you. If you looked up the same product on the same site through another source besides my website, the price will still be exactly the same. 100% of the time.

I also NEVER link to products or services that I don't 100% believe in. I will never tout a company or their goods if they are disreputable or if I don't believe them to be worthy of your hard-earned money. In no way are my affiliate links a scam.
