Music has always been a huge part of my writing process, but it was particularly important when writing Evie.
From the get-go, I pictured each book as a tv series in my head. There are entire albums I listened to on repeat that I could point to and just say “This is it. This is the soundtrack for the entire book.”
I actually lost my Evie playlist back in November when my old laptop finally bit the dust after four and a half years. I’m slowly re-compiling my itunes library, but lost all of my old playlists.
If I had to pick a few songs, however (and not all from the same album!) here are the ones I’d pick for each book:

If you still have your old notebook, you can remove the HDD and mount it in an external drive enclosure and use it via USB. As long as the drive is still good you’ll have all your files.

I do. I’ve been wanting to do that for a while, I’m just not sure how to go about finding the enclosure and setting it up.
