Do you guys like making playlists for your characters or stories?
I have quite a few charrie playlists, and I’d love to hear about the music you choose for your characters! 😀
Monsters creep
In the silent dark-deep
In the filling-eye hills
In the shriveled hand-keep@ava-blue
I don’t have one for specific characters yet, but I made a playlist full of 50’s and 60’s songs to listen to to get into the mood and setting of my story! lolYou can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.

Since the forum sometimes struggles with links, I’ll put each playlist in a separate post.

@joy-caroline. THERE’S GOING TO BE A SEQUEL!? GIRLLL!!!!!!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩
@ava-blue Kinda. I actually have one giant playlist marked WRITING MUSIC. It’s almost all instrumental and ranges from classical, celtic, medieval, western, waltz, steampunk, VBS background music, space, ect.
You will love what you spend time with.
@joy-caroline ooh! I like those! I really like Beautiful, Beautiful and Bleed The Same. What are your stories about?
I’ve currently got a rather impressive playlist for my MC Bronwen, but it’s all in my MP3 player and my CD collection lol. I’ll name a few songs I think suit her best though 😀
- Rounds –Â The Oh Hellos
- Wicked Game – Chris Isaak
- Green Green Grass of Home –Â Johnny Cash
- The Bandit –Â Kings of Leon
- Keep the Wolves Away –Â Uncle Lucius (possible language warning on this one?)

Thanks! Here’s the blurb for Where Faith Remains, since I’m terrible at trying to explain the book without it. XD
1968: Though severely depressed and haunted by the demons of war that attack him day and night, amputee Russell Campbell has the will to live for one little girl who needs him: Eliza, the orphaned baby of a fallen comrade. When he adopts Eliza as his daughter, a miracle happens—he experiences the love he never thought possible. Through little Eliza, the only person to ever love him unconditionally, the Lord begins to heal his heart, although the demons don’t go away.
1975: Seven-year-old Eliza Campbell has everything, because to her, her adoptive father is everything. She loves him more than anything in the world—the man whose tender heart and gentle hand guide her in Christ. Eliza knows she and her papa don’t belong anywhere, except with each other. Others think they make an odd pair—a little black girl and a white Vietnam veteran with battle scars both seen and unseen.
Russell has always taught Eliza that Jesus brings healing, but then tragedy strikes. Eliza’s earth is shattered, for her worst fear may just come true: a scary diagnosis might tear her father away from her forever. Why would Jesus let this happen, if He really loves and cares for them as Russell says He does? Is He really to be trusted? Or is it possible that the darkness can be a place where faith remains?
As you can imagine, I can’t spoil WFR#2 yet, but I can say that it’s a continuation of Russell and Eliza’s story. Neither of them are POV characters in the sequel, but they’re still central characters, of course, since the duology is about them. WFR#2 currently has only one POV character, but I won’t say who it is yet. 😉
I haven’t heard any of the songs in your playlist, but the titles seem to imply that Bronwen is a bold character!
