Friday's Inspiration

My mind keeps drifting back to a post I wrote last month entitled Music and All it's Wonderful Power. It's about how music is an inspiration for writers. Lately, I have heard several other writers express the same sentiments. Therefore, I have decided that Fridays shall be song inspiration days.

I will post a video of the song that is inspiring me most for the week, so you can bask in the inspiration as well.

My first choice is Micheal meets Mozart by Jon Schmidt and Steven Sharp Nelson. You know how every once in a great while an instrumental song hits you more powerfully than words. This song has done that for me. I just discovered it two days ago, but I have been listening to it non-stop while writing. It's truly my muse right now.

You will seriously love it, give it listen.



Didn't that just get your blood pumping? Ah, I love music!
