Music serves as a powerful muse for igniting creativity. Throughout my writing journey, I’ve immersed myself in various genres, allowing the rhythm and lyrics to shape the mood of my novel. One particular track that profoundly resonates with a pivotal scene in my novel is “DAMAGED PEOPLE” by Connell Cruise.

As I penned a dark moment where the protagonist grapples with escaping the shadows consuming her soul, this haunting melody mirrored the abyss of venomous darkness she faced. The evocative notes of Connell Cruise’s composition became the emotional soundtrack, infusing the scene with a depth that brought me to tears.

In the realm of storytelling, music is more than a companion; it’s a source of inspiration, guiding the narrative into realms of emotion and intensity. Stay tuned for more insights into the musical tapestry woven into the fabric of my writing.
