Music has always been my muse when it comes to writing. Sometimes, I've created a playlist after the story is written. Sometimes, songs come to me organically. And sometimes, I build a list before much of the story is on paper. . . . which helps me along when it comes to plotting.
My newest story "Playing at Love" is about a high school choir teacher and the school's new football coach. (Smexy, right?) After the initial "thunder-struck" attraction, these two people are sitting on opposite sides of an issue--which was really fun to write.
Without giving tooooo much away, here are the songs that helped me write this fun little love story.
