I've written before about building a writing environment that actually helps you get words on the page. For me, playlists are a huge part of that.

​

This is an ongoing collection of the playlists I make for myself while I'm writing or experimenting with an idea. Some help me get into a character's head. Some match the mood of a scene. Others are just there to keep me focused when my brain wants to wander.

​

Not every playlist is tied to a story, either. Sometimes "writer work" means querying agents, editing, writing a blog post I'm overthinking, or trying to stay on task during my day job. I have playlists for those days, too.

You'll find my featured playlists below on Spotify and YouTube Music. If you're looking for even more, my blog posts have longer lists and ideas for other music streaming services.

​

I hope you find one that clicks and helps you settle into your story a little faster. 💚
