Music is such a huge part of my writing process. It’s key to setting the tone of a chapter, scene, plot, or character.
Here are just some of the many songs and artists that were instrumental to writing The Counting-Downers.
If you’re a fan of the novel, I really recommend looking up the lyrics, or listening to the full playlist on Spotify which you can find here.
Thank you to all of the musicians, songwriters, and producers who inspired my writing process. This book is part of your legacy ❤
