Playlist for Writing

First of all, thanks so much for having me on your blog today!!

Mine is probably not the typical playlist because I don’t listen to music when I write.  I also don’t have different lists specific to each piece I write. 

My little niche as I guess we can call it, is movies.  When I need to be in the zone, I put in a DVD.  I don’t always watch the movies, in fact I hardly ever watch anymore, but they are familiar background noise and great inspiration. They just give me the feeling I need to put me in the zone to write.

 Where I sit to do my writing and other work is at the dining room table which is in an open area connected to my living room and kitchen.  The TV is directly in front of where I sit (I do that on purpose).  Now I actually have two different playlists I usually stick with depending on my mood for the day.  I do mushy romanticy happy-ending movies most of the time which is a good background because I write romance so I’ll share that one today.

Without further ado…

Romance Movie Inspiration

Listed in no particular order, and I don’t watch them in any order either

Pride & Prejudice
 (The version with Kiera Knightly - just happens to be my favorite movie and
sometimes I do get distracted and end up watching instead of it being background noise)

The Proposal
(Which is tied as my favorite, I LOVE  Ryan Reynolds)

Sweet Home Alabama
(Love, love love love  Josh Lucas)

The Wedding Date
(Love Dermot Mulroney, who wouldn’t just fall in love with him in this movie)

The Lake House
(Do like Keanu and Sandra as a couple)

Pitch Perfect
(A new favorite and when I do stop to watch it, I love the end)

50 Shades of Grey
(Another new favorite that just got added to the list and no haters, everyone has their own opinion, likes & dislikes)

P.S. I Love You
(Even though I cry)

Simply Irresistible
(wish I could make food that would affect people’s emotions this way)

While You Were Sleeping
(I like a lot of Sandra Bullock movies)
