Music that connects to my writing

When I moved my latest book into the line editing stage, I pulled together six songs which I considered to be direct influences on the text. Here’s that playlist:

I won’t go into the whys and hows of each track because it wouldn’t make a whole lot of sense if you haven’t read the text. Still, I found the exercise both useful and interesting, so I decided to work through the novel and pick out a track which thematically embodied each important section. Here’s that playlist:

I’ve never made a soundtrack for one of my novels before. It was strangely empowering. A fun exercise. These days I listen to it whenever I edit the thing.

That’s all I’ve got for today. My health is still extremely poor. Aggravatingly so. Life continues, in some form or another.
