What is this, Sap Day?

Seriously. I have Pandora on at work as I finish up some publishing, to listen to some Foreigner, and it's like ... Cheesy Songs For Your OTP, 80s Hair Edition. Foreigner "I Don't Wanna Live Without You," REO "I Can't Fight This Feeling," Def Leppard's "Bringin' On The Heartbreak," etc. etc. (broken up occasionally by Lynrd Skynrd and The Cars).

I hate, hate songfic on principle, although listening to songs does help me come up with ideas for stories sometimes (not as often as it used to, but still sometimes). I just can't use the lyrics and storyline in MY stories, if that makes sense. But yeah, listening to even the cheese I listed above, I could come up with something. Dammit.

Any of you other writers have Music Of Choice for fanfic or original fiction? I take from a little of everything I like - note that this does not mean ALL MUSIC, since there's no way I could know all music out there. Plus, being American, I suspect I am woefully undersupplied with types of music. But I digress from my question ...?

I create stories in my head, but my grammar is not top notch. So they tend to stop there. Music makes the ideas flow better.

Ver whatever motivates you keep it up. I still love what you wrote for me in the help Haiti campaign. XD

Sorry I never replied earlier - I lost track of this. But thanks for the kudos!
