The problem? Writer's block.

The solution? Music!!

I've always written with music going in the background. Every book has it's music and every book's music has been different. When we moved into the MIL's house, I've felt it was a bit rude to sit around with headphones on all of the time.

Now, since I've figured out that music has been what's missing and blocking my writing, I really don't care how it seems. She can talk about how rude it is all she wants...I won't be able to hear her :-)

Target has ended up with several different types of music, but we (the characters and I) have ended up on an Enrique Iglesias kick for the finish.

Soul Mates (the vampire novel) has ended up with The Crystal Method. I can't tell you how it helped me to capture the club scene in the beginning. If anyone has any high-energy, gritty, edgy mixes to recommend...I'd REALLY appreciate it! I've got 6 weeks to finish the novel and I know I'm going to get tired of TCM by then.

A song that I fell totally in love with recently was "Over and Over" by Nelly & Tim McGraw. I love the beat/feel of it and it's the perfect sex music. In my "writing sex" folder I've really only got: Sarah McLachlan and Enya. I'm looking for more things like "Over and Over" so I can get a different tone for some of my scenes.

Any other recommendations??
