Dear Inspiration: Music

Dear Music -

You’re like a benchmark for me. Whenever I start buying and hoarding music into playlists that take over my iPhone’s memory space, I know something big is about to happen. Some story that will suddenly take over and demand to be written. The same thing happened with Origins. It’s happening now.

There is a story building up, and you’re what’s helping it take shape.

I don’t know about other people, but I know that whenever a book starts developing, there are telltale signs. I stay up late listening to the same song over and over and over again, re-daydream the same snippet of scene to see it just right, to mold it into the perfect sense of the song that inspired it.

So, with that, I’m off to listen to more of you, Dearest Music, so I can figure out this book you’re making for me.

Love,

An Avid Listener

About Brittany Landgrebe

I like to tell fake stories about fake people in fake places. It’s this newfangled thing called *fiction* that’s all the rage. I’m a Young Adult writer who loves good food and fun people. I'm always writing, learning my craft and protecting my narrative voice. I write in several sub-genres of young adult fiction, including epic fantasy, steampunk, and contemporary. I blog book reviews and thoughts on writing at my website and can also be found on Twitter, the #amwriting directory, GoodReads and Facebook. My novels and I are currently seeking representation.
