Hi Smitten Sweeties!

It’s #MusicMonday. As an author, I rely on music (and coffee!) to help me through my writing. I don’t have specific playlists for my characters, but I choose the type of music to set the mood of the scene. I listen to mostly pop and Kpop music, but I do listen to jazz, R&B, hip hop, EDM, alternative, and rock.

I’ve missed hanging out at my favorite coffee shops to get some writing done. To fill that void in the meantime, I’ve been listening to coffee house sounds on YouTube. YouTube has so many different ambience sounds. Being a huge Disney fan and Harry Potter fan, I’ve listened to sounds of Main Street in Disneyland and being in the library at Hogwarts.

Music impacts my writing in so many ways. What’s your favorite music genre that you listen to? Has music affected your life in any way?

Xo,

Aurora
