The spark of inspiration can be found anywhere you choose to look. From a title of a song to a sketch found on a napkin, these stories are waiting to be discovered and told.
 

Words and music are powerful forms of creativity because they both have the ability to evoke emotion, create an experience, and move you. Music speaks to the same part of our soul where our words come from, delving into a part of ourselves and calling forth sometimes stagnant emotion that can be then poured out onto the page. Sometimes, the music you’re listening to can shape the tone of your writing. A peppy pop ballad can make for an upbeat, feel-good story filled with humor and chaos. A slow ballad can cross boundaries and create melancholy and passion.
