Like many authors, I listen to music when I write and edit. Some of that is to distract my inner editor, some of it is to inspire scenes or characters. A song specific to a character helps me keep their voice more consistent through the story, and when you have a large cast and a lot of different plot lines working in the story, having specific songs can help keep me on track and focused.
So, here’s the playlist that helped me get Sandblaster written!
