Inspirational Songs

So I told you that music inspires you when you're writing. Maybe I should set you on your feet by showing you some deep, thoughtful songs that use metaphors along side poetry and so on.

Have a listen to...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Those are all the songs I can think of at the moment. If I think of any others, I'll be sure to add them :)

Sorry that some of the videos don't have the lyrics - it's hard to find videos that are good quality and not sped up or slowed down. Well, listen to the lyrics and let yourself be inspired. These songs sure did inspire me to write the story I am writing now. Even if romance isn't what you want to write. These lyrics could link to anything...

Thanks for reading my blog! Hope this post and all the others are helpful and beneficial to you x

Story Gaps

Hello. I told you I would tell you what gaps in your stories are. Sorry for the wait.

Right, gaps in your story are parts of your story - little pieces of information - that you don't conclude in the planning of your story. So when you write your story, "chickens come to roost" and you find it difficult to make some of the other parts work. For example, where your main character was born or where they move to halfway to the story.

Gaps are terrible things to have in your story. If they don't cause trouble and difficulty at first, they will soon. Just like secrets. The longer you hide them, the heavier the blow is when they're found out. So additionally, I advise you to not leave gaps in your story. Fill them up while you're planning the story.

Thanks again for reading my blog. I hope this post has benefitted you - or will in the future! x

Music will inspire you!

Hello again! I have come up with a new way to find inspiration to write well. 

I was listening to Ed Sheeran's X Album and I really focused on the lyrics and their meaning. Through many of the songs, I found inspiration to add ideas to my new story, A Compatible Tune. When I picked up on this method, I tried it with my favourite songs. It worked with all of them. I became even more inspired through Sam Smith's and Gabrielle Aplin's songs.

Listening to songs is very helpful, just thought I would tell you. Songs are filled with meaning and thought just waiting to be found by writers such as yourselves. It works so well I just thought I'd share it with you all! :)

Thank you for reading my blog once again x
