Music to Write By

One of the things I usually do for my works-in-progress is design soundtracks for them. While I can't listen to music while I write, I do love having music that helps me enter the story world, merely upon hearing it.

But I was having a devil of a time finding a soundtrack for Theodosia. Edwardian music is hard to find, at least labeled as such. Besides, Theo was rather ahead of her time so the little bit of Edwardian music I did find didn't really have the energy I was looking for.

But finally, with some help from a friend who is a self-proclaimed music freak, I was set on a path that led to a Theodosia soundtrack! Yeay! (and a HUGE thank you to Caridad Ferrer!)
