And now I\u2019m able to create playlists for my projects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have one for the novel, and for the upcoming sequel. I\u2019m thinking of songs that inspire me for part three.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now I\u2019m finding that certain projects and characters have theme songs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MUSIC AND MY CHARACTERS\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019d already been making loose associations between music and my characters. Lately they\u2019re taking more concrete form with my playlists.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>I\u2019m incorporating this into my marketing strategy and creating visuals of the characters and including their music on my Instagram stories.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s fun for me and a way to connect with the mood and vibe in a way that others can tap into as well. It\u2019s also a way to add multimedia to my posts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>The music I select spans genres and time periods.<\/strong> I have very eclectic musical taste, and my playlists reflect that as well as the moods and vibes expressed by my story and genre.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have everything from 80s pop to 90s grit, and Russian pop to Western swing. It isn\u2019t that specific music is mentioned all that often in my story, if at all, but it\u2019s the spirit of the music that goes along with the spirit of the scene, character, setting, or mood.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WHAT INSPIRES NOVEL PLAYLISTS<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Usually, I hear a song and think of which character it would go with, or a scene for which it could be the score. It wasn\u2019t until recent months that I realized novel playlists are a thing, so you might consider creating one if you haven\u2019t already.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Depending on your musical platform of choice<\/strong>, you can add songs to or delete them from your playlists as the mood strikes, and move them to other playlists.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For me it\u2019s a way to stir my imagination as I\u2019m out for a walk, a chance to focus on mood, tone and style.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>I think of how music functions in some of my favorite movies and TV shows for inspiration as well.<\/strong> Whether it\u2019s a part of a show or film, a theme song or tune, or the song played over the credits at the end, it makes an impression, and that\u2019s to me what the creation of a playlist can do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A novel playlist is a repository of sound impressions around a particular character, scene, or image, which enriches my ability to convey these things when I sit down to write. Anything that helps with that I welcome with open arms!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>To get a sense of how this can work for you<\/strong>, a way to start might be to pay particular attention to songs in your favorite movies and TV shows.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Notice songs that speak to you on more than one level (which I\u2019m sure many do). Notice songs that you hear on the radio or run across anywhere that cause you to think of your story or something in it or about it. What made you connect with it?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Eventually I\u2019ll share my whole playlist for the novel on my <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nevadawrites\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IG stories<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but for now I plan on continuing to post my character graphics (representatives of my characters in silhouette) along with a few seconds of a song.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s almost summertime again, so play and have fun with your playlists and let me know what you think!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Happy summer to you, and happy writing!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want to read more articles like this one Writer\u2019s Fun Zone? <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/contact-beth\/#signup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Subscribe here.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">***<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>ABOUT THE AUTHOR<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Nevada-McPherson-scaled.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"http:\/\/www.nevada-mcpherson.com noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-24141\" title=\"Nevada McPherson\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Nevada-McPherson-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Nevada McPherson\" width=\"113\" height=\"150\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" srcset=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Nevada-McPherson-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Nevada-McPherson-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Nevada-McPherson-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Nevada-McPherson-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Nevada-McPherson-640x853.jpg 640w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Nevada-McPherson-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 113px) 100vw, 113px\" \/><\/a>Originally from Georgia, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nevada-mcpherson.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nevada McPherson<\/a> lived in uptown New Orleans for many years and now lives with her husband Bill and rescue Chihuahua, Mitzi in Milledgeville, GA where she is a professor of Humanities at Georgia Military College.
