Iām sure I have a kindred spirit or two who story craft while listening to music. The interplay of instrumentals, melody, and poetry is a rambunctious inciter when it comes to creativity. Recently, I had plots unroll in my head entirely because of lyrics and a specific sequence of songs. I thought Iād make this a blog series where I give you playlists that inspire me, like the one below. Hopefully, theyāll serve as writing prompts for you. Or just enjoy the music.
