First you've got to set the mood.
Nanowrimo is coming up. I'm worried, I admit. I'm distracted by many things this year, but I do have an idea, which is good. Although I still have not nailed down my murder. I think it might be poison.
Anyway, I make playlists when I write, sets the mood and such. I'm looking for song suggestions. My story is a mystery, with a an old school private dick named Arthur Black, and his very prim and proper personal assistant Miss Oomura. I need songs that are bit noir and dark. Anything that harkens to the 40's is good, although it's set in current day. Humor is also acceptable, because very there will be humor, of course.
So send me any suggestions and maybe when I am down, I'll post the playlist.

i bought the cd after only hearing the briefest snippet of "the greatest".
i'm gonna need to think some more about this.

Man do I hear your pain... I am in a similar boat... but my problem is that I am vacilating between two stories... so... I am starting to belive that I shoud just write on both, and that somehow they will come together... not sure how since one is fiction and the other is more non-fiction-ish fiction...
and How about Black Cadillacs... I love that song and I have a great cover of it..
