Being a Wyrd Sister came later for me. I've known everyone for years but didn't actually join the group until several years after the group formed. Partially because I didn't have the time in my life and partially because they all have such strong, wonderful personalities. I had to discover me and my writing a bit more before I joined. Now, though I find it's a great place to be.
We all have our interests beyond our writing that show up in writing, or at least influence it. I've had transient interests in my life, but the one constant I have is music. Country in particular at this point in time, but I've always listened to music. I'm giving my age away, I'm sure when I say my first favorite song was A HORSE WITH NO NAME by America. Still have the old 45 around here, and even play it! Less so now that I have my IPOD and am collecting those old tunes.
Yes, I listen to music while I write and it has to have words. I'm weird that way. If I listen to instrumentals or classical, I catch myself making up words for it. Not good when I'm trying to finish a manuscript. While the song writing process fascinates me, it's not something I'll ever be able to do. I'll just sit back and admire those who can do it.
My current release, RAGING SPIRITS was written to a lot of Montgomery Gentry and Keith Urban. An odd mix in a way, but it fit the mood for me and hopefully for the book.
