Story writing help... musical inspiration needed?

so I've just got two new story ideas which I've been developing and would like to start writing at least one of them but for one of them I've got a 'where and how to start the book problem' and for the other I've got a 'what is the central conflict; why is the bad guy bad' problem, so I can begin neither.

I'm not asking for your ideas (though I will accept them if your will to give them as inspiration) I'd like a couple of songs to listen to that might inspire me, just no extremely heavy metal (though I'm fine with rock), and no techno

thanks for you time

    Anything classical, particularly Tchaikovsky, I find inspiring. As good background music the minimalist piano style of Ludovico Einaudi helps with the actual writing; I often find myself 'typing with the music' if that makes sense.

    Try studying Nineteen Ways of Looking at Wang Wei, by means of Weinberger and Paz, and Creation: Artistic and Spiritual, by means of O. M. Aivanhov. That would possibly appear like paintings, however they are well books and really handy too. The Great Divorce, by means of C. S. Lewis, is exceptional mannequin of person progress. Write approximately what you realize, like, or are ready to love as creativeness. Keep a dream diary or magazine. Keep a replica of what you write, and evaluation it later. Even first drafts educate one the best way to write with a extra private voice/sort. West with the Night, Beryl Markham, and Expecting Adam, Martha Beck, are satisfactory examples of this. Have amusing; Alcatraz as opposed to the Evil Librarians, Sanderson, P. G. Wodehouse novels and quick studies, and In a Sunburned Country, Bryson, are examples of this. Write obviously; Animal Farm, George Orwell, is an illustration.

  • hmm...musicians like the Goo Goo Dolls and other indie artists have inspired me. But country can work too. It might help if I knew what the ideas were.
