Musical Mondays: Apocalyptica

Apocalyptica is one of those bands who create such beautiful music it's easy to draw your own artisitc abilities from their infulence. Their songs can reach down into your soul and pull out an inner darkness that's buried so deep, you'll be surprised on the kinda of emotion you can create for your characters. Apocalyptica, along with a few other bands are my go-to source when I need a little writing inspiration. They can help me get into someone else's mind and emotion, which helps me flesh out my novel. I also love how they feature a new singer in every song! Keeps it fresh with the same errie beats. If you ever have a chance to see them live...DO IT! They are awesome! Here are a few videos that blew me away! Enjoy!!

Musical Motivation: Evanescence VS We Are the Fallen

VS

Okay, so may I live under a rock and I totally didn't know there was a huge battle going one between Evanescence and their former band mates who have started We Are the Fallen. The fans are apparently very passionate about this subject. Like most YA writers, I love Evanescence. There's just something so inspiring about songs about dark, twisted love. After all, isn't that what the Young Adult genre is all about?

So when I was browsing youtube to watch some Evanescence for some writing motivation this popped up:



After I watched that, I immediately looked up the new band.





I mean, I love Amy Lee and her style, but great music is great music. As long as it sounds amazing and inspires me, I love it. I totally think there's room for both bands because there's been such a huge void in the female lead Gothic rock since Amy Lee's band Evanescence hasn't put out a full record since 2006. I wish I would've known about We Are the Fallen's album release back in 2010.

So here it is my fellow writers and Evanescence fans. What do you think? Do you rock out when you write?

Musical Motivation #2

I have been hard at work revising my manuscript DEMON AT MY DOOR, a dark urban fantasy, and I have really found some great inspiration in the musical group DROWNING POOL. Their latest album has been pretty much on repeat in my car during my hour long commute to and from work, so I thought I would pass on a couple songs by these guys to you guys since they have helped me so much.

Now go ROCK OUT! And Happy Writing! :)

Musical Motivation

So I'm back on the writing train and I thought I'd share some of the songs that inspired my latest twisted, shiny, new idea. I think just from the vibe of the songs you'll get an idea of my new manuscript is gonna be like. Ready? Here goes...
