Sometimes, the playlist creates itself; moulding itself as if to create an idea in my mind before I've thought of the actual story itself.<br /><br />My characters don't live until they've picked their own playlists. They "give" me the song that most connects with them & it pops into my head. Only then do these characters become real. It's as if they've been switch-on by their Play-button.<br /><br />Thanks for this piece of inspiration.<br /><br />@Tom_SouthernTom Southernhttp://www.tomsouthern.com/authors-secrets-2/noreply@blogger.com
