So I thought it'd be cool for you guys to listen to all the songs I listened to when writing this book. In case any of you are aspiring writers that gets writers block, on this playlist I've created on Spotify are a bunch of songs that have inspired me with various chapters of this book, some may be a lot more obvious than others. For example, One Shot - JLS was obviously blaring through my earphones on a loop throughout writing process of the last three chapters, and You Are The Music In Me is the song that this book is named after, and so was generally just played a lot when writing this because it goes with every chapter to be completely honest.
The name of the playlist is right there, so all you have to do is search for "YATMIM" as Im pretty sure there are no other or playlists called that. Admittedly, most of these songs or ones that I hadnt even heard of before I started writing this book. What I tend to do, is search for playlists of the songs Im looking for on youtube, and then spend hours on end flicking through hundreds of song intros until I hear one that sounds like something I'd normally listen to, or something that intrigues me. Of course, my most common search on youtube is "Emo love songs" because I've gotta own my labels, you know how it is! But, along with these previously undiscovered songs, are songs by Jeydon Wale, one of my favorite youtubers, and Sleeping With Sirens, my favorite band OF ALL TIME, though of course you knew that already...considering the amount of fanfictions I have written. Lmao.
Also, just want to make it clear that this book does include REAL people. I am actually Heather, and Hannah is actually my best friend in real life. We have both seen sws live, but never met any of the members. I am in love with Kellin, and Hannah is in love with Justin. Alma is my American best internet frenly frenly fren fren chum pal bud ( Alma1918 ). And yeah. Sweet. Fun times. This series originally started because Im obsessed with Kellin and he has helped me through so much, not just with his music, but with my anxiety, my writing, everything. He has always been there for me, and as of late I've been feeling really down, I've been told my a mental health specialist that Im showing symptoms of depression, which is a scary though. Writing has always been, and still is, my therapy. So, writing a series of books in which the man that has saves me so many times actually loves me, has really helped me. It's very therapeutic. All of the things in the first book in this series have actually happened to me, all of the smaller and non-Kellin related ones at least, and writing about Kellin helping me get through them is what actually got me through them.
"The amazing thing about fanfiction writing, is that if the person the story is about dies, you can start a completely new story in which they dont. One person you adore can live a thousand lives with you in the pages of a book, and I love that."
