seriousfic7. Do you listen to music while you write? What kind? Are there any songs you like to relate/apply to your characters?
Actually, I have this tendency to name chapters after lyrics from a song that fits the theme of the moment. If it's an action scene, sometimes I'll play trailer music, sometimes I'll play one of those "thematic songs" and try to fit the action to the music. Sometimes there's even music within the story that either really fits the drama or really doesn't, like this one super-tragic scene that goes on while Bad Romance is playing on the jukebox. Who knows, maybe I could turn "brutal violence set to bubble-gum pop" into my trademark. Worked for Bret Easton Ellis.
Although really, listening to Lady Gaga could drive anyone to murder.
