Writing Music: Camp Care Pack
19:00
For a lot of writers, April is all about Camp NaNoWriMo. And
even if you’re not participating in Camp NaNo, chances are you’re working on
some kind of writing project right now. And if there’s one thing good for
getting you in the right mood for writing, it’s music. So, in honour of the
fact that we’re at the halfway point of the month, and if you’re anything like
me you’re probably feeling a bit tired by this point, I’ve chosen three
different songs to help you motivate yourself to keep pushing on. We can do
this!
For Motivation: Battleborne
There’s nothing that gets me in a more determined mood for
writing than a good battle song. This is my go-to song when I need a bit of
courage, determination, and the will to not give up (small wonder this is one
of my favourite songs to run to). It’s got power, courageous lyrics, and a beat
that will have your fingers moving in no time.
For a Good Mood: Pumpin' Blood
Not in a good enough mood for writing yet? This song never
fails to bring a smile to my face. It’s so upbeat and such a great reminder
that life is good and we should be happy. The fun lyrics, colourful music video
and upbeat tune that will have you feeling better in no time.
For A Calm, Focused Writing Mood: Bello Banff
I’m a recent discoverer of hang music, but there’s something
about this gorgeous instrument that makes me feel so calm, peaceful, and
focused on the task at hand. This is one of my favourite hang pieces I’ve
discovered so far. It’s so gentle, but at the same time there’s a sense of
forward motion that helps keep you writing. And it’s perfect for listening to
on loop if you want a constant background noise.
What’s on your writing
playlist at the moment? What music do you listen to when you really need a
motivational kick in the pants? What song/s always make you feel better?

I really liked the Battlecry one. I can see why you're drawn to it! Peter Hollins is always amazing, so you can't really go wrong with that one.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these:) Good luck with your writing!
It's so stirring, isn't it? Haha, yep! Peter Hollens is a very safe bet if you're looking for awesome music. Thanks for stopping by Sunny!
DeleteI love listening to the Game of Thrones soundtrack and Beethoven's 5th when I write! I'll definitely have to check these videos out :)

Ooh, the Game of Thrones soundtrack would be a good one. I've heard a couple of songs from that. Definitely going to have to check that one out myself. Beethoven's 5th is an interesting and awesome choice. I love that one myself. Thanks for stopping by Elli!
