Music is a huge part of my writing. I listen to music every time I write, if I hit writer’s block, I simply change up my playlist. As a result, my playlists are huge. I literally went through hundreds of songs to pick just a sample of the songs I used for inspiration while writing Gifted. Below are the top songs I listened to at the time of Gifted’s inception in 2009 through its completion in 2010.
