Literary/Media Influences
Jan. 8th, 2010 09:25 pmFrankly it's rather difficult to quantify this one, I think. When I was younger I devoured books of all sorts, and all genres, and then as I grew older my reading time grew lesser and lesser to the point that when I first decided to revamp "Windshifter" this last October, I actually hadn't really read anything in a long time. Maybe this was actually a good thing, because it allowed me to mostly use my own style rather than emulate that of another author's as I tend to do... but I digress.

I could go on and on and I'm sure I'm not scratching the surface of this, but it's bedtime now...

My book has a "soundtrack" of sorts that goes along with it. Basically I compiled a bunch of music together and listened to it while writing. Some songs were just played for general ambiance but others had very specific characters or scenes associated with them.
I decided to share some of them here for posterity more than anything, (and for my own benefit). It's probably not really in any particular order, other than maybe roughly chronological.
WARNING: Possible spoilers.

I may come back and edit this if I left some stuff out. Next time: literary/intertextual influences!
