I don’t think this is unusual, but I listen to music when I write. I just have to.

Read, read, read…..Reading is one of the best things you can do as a writer. Also, write for yourself. Not anyone else. If you believe in your story others will too.

I would bring The Tommyknockers by Stephen King, Pandora by Anne Rice, The Giver by Lois Lowry, and Manleigh Cheese by James Crawford.
