For Dante from Re: Shattered Memories, it's almost certainly The Only Thing I Know For Real and Karma (Tales of the Abys OP).

Not quite what you're asking, but I did have Sheryl Crow running through my head when I wrote Berky referring to Puppy as his "favorite mistake."

I have a whole playlist of songs for Daemrin, the MMC of SpaceWIP, but if I had to pick just one, it would be "Adrenaline" by Shinedown. It's the opener for the playlist because it captures his personality pretty well. #WritingLifeMonthly

8. This is her theme song. Her name was inspired by “27 Jennifers” by Mike Doughty. The version I remember hearing on the radio was a lot softer. I prefer that one, but the lyrics are what piqued my interest.

Sanal's is Wild One (Faith Hill) and has been since the beginning of their conception.

Liam's...in #Shield&Scalpel, it's Saving Me (Nickelback). I'm not sure what it would be in #ChefsKiss. That remains to be seen.

Most of my books have an entire soundtrack/playlist, but not usually a specific song for a character.

The theme song for my next WIP, and for its protagonists as a collective, is Mis-Shapes by Pulp.

My MC, Maya Krishnamurthy, has a playlist of her own. If I have to say one theme song for her (she's an actor btw), it's the song Ladio from I (2015, Tamil).

It's a cool song. You can listen to it here even if you don't get the language: open.spotify.com/track/1LlFJK...

Black Magic Door (Mabel): "Girl Next Door"- Saving Jane, Theme from the first Aquaman movie
How to Serve Gamers (Elina)- (1/2)

Drafting / research for sure. I love seeing my story come alive & my characters developing. Also, while I tend to write what I know, I also like to stretch myself, therefore research — either on subjects I know little about, or more depth into ones I do. It grounds my stories in a bit of reality.

Editing. Not “editing” in and of itself, but that I’m a bit of a perfectionist. Even when working with editors, it’s hard for me to say “enough” and leave my work alone. This has always been a challenge for me, & part of what delayed my doctoral dissertation defense years ago. #writinglifemonthly

For my novel "Dancing in the Purple Rain", it's sort of obvious what my main character's theme song is. However, for most of my novels, their theme song would be REM's "It's the End of the World." (Yeah, I take too much pleasure in torturing my characters.) #WritingLifeMonthly #BookSky #WriteSky

#WritingLifeMonthly 8: The theme song for Gem from In Reverse would have to be a song played, you guessed it, in reverse. I just looked up songs that sound good backwards, and one of the suggestions was MK Ultra by Muse. Here it is reversed: www.youtube.com/watch?v=crV-...

Editing something I wrote in a Nanowrimo-style word vomit, or was just pantsing and took a wild direction change in the middle. Fun to write, but an absolute nightmare to turn into something usable...

Hard to say. The stages that frustrated me the most, were tedious, or took the longest were still incredibly valuable, and I wouldn't skip them. Maybe the retyping? Gods, retyping tested my patience even though it was totally worth it. #WritingLifeMonthly
