It's sitting on my kindle waiting to be read. :D Listening to music gets me into the mood to write and, like you, when it slips into white noise I'm in the zone (without really knowing it, if you know what I mean). <br />Marilyn Forsythhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17264683453138649702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603806150366948575.post-84618074455895913492018-06-12T19:29:51.869+10:002018-06-12T19:29:51.869+10:00Thanks for sharing your writing process with us, C...Thanks for sharing your writing process with us, Cassie. I can relate to the white noise effect you describe, where you are so immersed in your writing that you are "in flow". I'm very much looking forward to reading "Collector of Hearts".Sharon Bryanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01662544181464130756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603806150366948575.post-69149749182528982142018-06-12T11:12:45.605+10:002018-06-12T11:12:45.605+10:00Interesting process you have, Cassie.

Maybe I'm spoilt because we live in such a quiet area, otherwise I might resort to that white noise effect. Looking forward to your second novel (been a bit long between drinks and I'm in need of another dose of your wonderful storytelling, descriptions and wit!).

I have different ring tones for my family too. Just a bit of fun really. Yes this book has been on a rollercoaster of a ride, a bit like the characters. Isabelle is featured pretty much the whole way through and didn't end up needing her own book. There is another character in this book is the hero of the next book I am writing now. I wonder if you can guess who it might be after you've read it.Cassandra Samuelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818025453828445251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603806150366948575.post-22746453372017613442018-06-11T14:19:08.494+10:002018-06-11T14:19:08.494+10:00It's amazing how we all work a little differen...It's amazing how we all work a little differently. Love 30 Seconds to Mars too. I also listen to 2 steps from Hell which is pretty much game and movie soundtrack sounding stuff. So I want to write a dramatic scene that's what I listen to.Cassandra Samuelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818025453828445251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603806150366948575.post-40968571892021542322018-06-11T14:17:15.726+10:002018-06-11T14:17:15.726+10:00I hope you enjoy it Helen.

You've worked so hard for so long, and now I can't wait to read it. Congratulations on your release today! I've already preordered, so - great! I never listen to music while I'm reading, unless it's on in the background in a coffee shop or somewhere when I'm out, reading. Funny, I couldn't tell you what the song is but subliminally my mind sings along and my toe taps, so when I come up for air I realise I've been following the music all along. Love your choices above, that clip in the Artic is insane! Sam Smith is a fabulous artist, the only one I actually knew from your choices. I've chosen different ring tones for my family, and the one that makes me smile the most is when my son rings and I get the TA-DAH! brass chord from the beginning of Star Wars. For most calls my phone sings 'Because I'm Happy' which is cheery and fun, and makes my grandchildren sing along. Love this digital age when everything is available to download. And, keep writing Cassandra! Hopefully Arabella's twin sister might feature some time in the future...? <br />Malvinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01643063300200396369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603806150366948575.post-75815887212985487862018-06-11T09:48:37.375+10:002018-06-11T09:48:37.375+10:00Great post, Cassandra.

I, too, get ideas from songs (30 Seconds to Mars' songs are terrific for my muse) but when I am actually writing songs always distract my focus. So I write in silence.
