Music to write to

Nov 3rd, 2008 by Kaia in Tags: , , |

NaNoWriMo is on day three, and I have 5k. I am still in the OMG-I-love-my-book-stage, and is giddy over all little things that comes out of my fingers as I type away that I had no idea of. I am going to find a counter and put it in the sidebar. Just because I can.

Also, what did we do before iTunes? I have a writing playlist, which, obviously, you could do before the iPod revolution, but you couldn’t fit 54 songs on a CD, could you? Or, being even more old school, a tape. (Ania always teased me for being entirely and utterly unable to pick just one song of each artist. Because I play favourites. Over and over and over again.

The best thing about iTunes it is that you can edit the genre to the name of a specific character, and narrow the list down from “writing” to “writing about ____” by typing in the name in the search box as you view your special little playlist.

This is my playlist at the moment. And yes, I love sharing my music. Poke me. Or, you know, go to their MySpace (except for Janis Joplin, she, um, doesn’t have one). Is it just me or is there something funky with big artists having MySpace-pages?
