That’s all for this week. See you next time!
I never heard of Mood Boards before, but I love the idea of creating some for my characters and settings. Thanks!
I create picture files and music files for almost every story and I write. Sometimes it helps to flesh out ideas to bring them to life on the page.
Music can be quite wonderful for setting the tone and pace of your scenes, can’t it? Also helps to visualise your scene like a movie with a soundtrack, timing the action.
Do you find a certain kind of music most helpful/least distracting, Anthony? Or do you leap across all musical spectrums?
