Writing rituals help to get me in the flow of writing. One of those rituals is to listen to the same thing every time I write a project. It lets my brain know it’s time to type some words. That’s why I have a soundtrack to write Rex & Eddie to.
When I visit my parent’s house my favourite place to write is in their conservatory, at night, when it rains. Being England there’s plenty of opportunity for a shower or two. Now I live in Los Angeles there’s rarely a chance of rain so I play Rainymood.com while the sun beams through my windows.
As the sound of rain gets my brainwaves flowing I put on a playlist to set the mood. While writing Rex & Eddie novels I usually play a mash of thriller soundtracks and James Bond scores with some silly, offbeat tracks like The Pink Panther theme mixed in. I wanted to share some of the tracks I’m currently writing Rex & Eddie to – which would also work as a soundtrack to the books if you like listening to music while reading.
So here’s a Spotify playlist for your listening – and reading – pleasure.
If you know similar music you’d recommend adding to my writing playlist then please let me know. I’d love to give it a listen.
