📌 Writing Pump-Up Playlist

🎶 "...create my own lines; love for my wordplay that's hard to find..." 🎶

Me and Nick at our wedding after-party—so, yep, I’ve always liked karaoke. 😂 What songs get you psyched up?

Everyone's got their own version of a pump-up playlist for working out. Maybe it’s my Nashville years showing themselves, but I don't think writing should be any different!

And it’s never been easier to make your own! What gets you psyched to start putting those words on the page? Whatever it is, why not use it as a writerly tool?

I recently put together a playlist to use while I’m doing pre-writing activities to jumpstart my mindset. This is great for listening to during “pre-writing” power walks or even while doing laundry (which I tend to do right before writing?) Obviously, you’ll know when/how to best use something like this—no point in me pretending I know your process.

Here is my playlist (invoking the #judgmentfreezone—I know there are some quite questionable lyrics in here and some eye-rolly musical choices—what can I say—“it me”). Anyhow, I definitely think you should make your own playlist, anyways, because that will motivate you the best!

Yours in (musical) notes,
