If you don't know already, I am really big into music influencing and helping me write. I always have pretty epic playlists for projects, especially NaNoWriMo. So I thought it would be kind of fun to share those musical play lists. So share 'em if you got 'em.

I'm a sucker for a good playlist, music is a huge part of my life. I usually put this playlist on random and then wander around the city. (*some of these songs are a bit embarrassing...)
by the way: I love Tunng, but I hate the song Bullets. You should replace it with "Take" or "Sweet William"

I need a good playlist when I write - not just for NaNo, but for any novel or story.
There isn't a lot of music that gets my writing flowing, but I do have a few on my playlist.
- ANY Evanescence songs help me write. I just love Amy Lee's voice.
- Most of the songs from Lacuna Coil's album Shallow Life.
- All Around Me by Flyleaf
- Right Here Waiting by Staind
- Your Decision by Alice In Chains
- Fixed At Zero by Versaemerge
So, unlike anyone would guess since I seem like such a girly-girl [except for when it comes to my writing], my music taste is quite metal and alternative.
Marianas Trench-Anything by them Hedley-anything by them Any musical ever made (I act, sing and dace, thats why) Some, old, retro stuff (Madonna, Pussycat Dolls, Prozac) Glee! (I love glee!!) Hodges-Blink of an Eye, My Side of The Story. (I just discovered this guy, thanks to criminal minds. I love him!) Good Charlotte-Anything by them Yeah. Thats basically it.
'We will never believe again, kick drum beating in my chest again, oh, we will never believe in anything again, preach electric to a microphone stand.'
Here's Playlist #1 for my NaNo 2010: Hearts of Oak. It's quite long, so I spoiler'd it.
