“Music's always part of my writing. I think all art is interconnected. You can't create or experience one without its influences bleeding into another. In my writing, music's mostly something that feeds my inspiration and mood while I'm writing, but it's also taught me how to score scenes and even novels. The rise and fall of the storyline echoes the flow of a good piece of music.” ThinkingWritingArtInspirationFallNovelPiecesInfluenceTaughtSceneArt IsFlowMoodScoreEchoesBleedingInterconnectedWriting MusicRise And FallStoryline Author:Charles de Lint

“When I have just sat down and tried to write the lyrics of a song, usually about half of it sounds like bullshit. I just have to go away from something and come back to it again later. I do a lot of editing and switching around and putting little pieces together to get the right mood and personality, and it takes me forever to get a song finished.” WritingLittlesTogetherSongSoundHalfForeverPiecesPersonalityDown AndFinishedMoodSatGoing AwayTake MeBullshitEditingSwitching Author:Matt Berninger
“I found myself often asking the question, "Who deserves to be made fun of?" Depending on your mood, the answer can be no one or everyone. It took me a while to understand the math of how those field pieces came together. I don't think that ridicule is ever funny, but there are times when that gets the biggest response.” ThinkingMadeTogetherFoundFunAnswersPiecesFieldsDeserveAskingResponseMathMoodRidicule Author:Ed Helms

“Most screenplays, most motion pictures, owe much more to the screenplay. Ingmar Bergman has such an economy of language, so little language in his piece, it is so visual, his moods are introduced and buttressed by camera rather than by word or character. But again, that's unique.” LittlesCharacterLanguageEconomyPiecesUniqueCamerasMoodVisualsScreenplaysMotion PicturesBergman Author:Rod Serling
