My attitude to music while writing - I don’t play music whilst writing. I think of music as a kind of performance enhancing drug for writers! Why? Because I’ve found whenever I have had music on, it’s had a direct effect on what I’m writing. I have occasionally put on a specific piece of music to generate the mood I want to be in/write. One good thing about listening to talk radio is that I can use is as an indicator of how my writing is going. If I hear all of most of the programme, then my story/scene needs a hell of a lot of work to get it right. If I barely hear any of the programme, I’ve probably written “a blinder”!!!! Most of the time I find myself falling somewhere in the middle. I hear some of the programme meaning my writing’s OK but is going to need a darned good edit to get it up to scratch. And given little writing can’t benefit from a darned good edit, that’s no bad position to be at.
Jenny and Paul/Eileen and Derek -The Look of Love by ABC. For Jenny and Paul, Eileen and Derek.
Eileen - The Chain by Fleetwood Mac. What Eileen felt the Fairy Kingdom was putting round her neck!
Brankaresh - Smooth Operator by Sade. Sums up Brankaresh though Eileen sees through all such.
Queen to Eileen - Let’s Go Round Again by the Average White Band. What the Queen wants Eileen to do - to do the rounds of killing all the dangerous magical beasts once more.
Eileen, Hanastrew and the Fairy Squad - Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits. It ought to be sisters in arms really for Eileen and Hanastrew and the squad in general.
Eileen - Singing the Blues by Dave Edmunds (my favourite version of the song). What Eileen wants to do when the Queen drops her in it. By a strange coincidence what Jenny feels when Eileen drops her in it!
Derek and Paul - For All We Know by the Carpenters. An ironic song title for Paul and Derek given what their wives haven’t told them!
