Plotting Through Music

About This Training

Whether you write to instrumental soundtracks, pop songs, or heavy metal, music can help focus the creative mind and put the keyboard to work. This workshop will investigate the art of building playlists for drafting and revision, harnessing its powers of motivation and also–surprise!–the subtle ways music influences plot development. Settle in with some headphones and start building the movie score for your world.
