Writing Music: Ice Dance
19:00
Music is always very important to me when I’m first
drafting, and especially during NaNoWriMo when I need all my concentration for
churning out my daily word count. Today’s music comes from the movie Edward Scissorhands, which is a movie I haven’t
actually ever seen. I stumbled across this piece quite by accident, and was
rather pleased when it became an instant favourite.
Ice Dance is a
beautifully emotive instrumental piece. Like the name suggests, it evokes
images of ice and snow and pretty landscapes. To me, it also feels rather like
it would fit a gentle climax, not one with battles and big villains, but the
conclusion of a love-story, or the conclusion of a personal battle. I think it
would suit an ending scene very well. This piece is perfect for romances,
fantasy, fairytales, or pretty much anywhere thoroughly gorgeous pieces of
music are required.
Does music help you
concentrate on your first drafts? If you’re doing NaNoWriMo, how are you going?
What music is helping you write your novel? Recommend me some great music and I
might feature it in a future Writing Music post!

Ooooo. I like this piece. It's pretty. It's definitely very enchanting. I just hit 43K last night in NaNo! So close!
