The oft
misquoted line, “Music hath charms that soothes the savage breast” came to mind
today as I was working. Between the
seemingly never-ending barrage of thunderstorms crashing loudly overhead and an
exceptionally rowdy puppy making almost as much noise as the thunder, I needed
to create a more soothing environment to calm my rambunctiously savage beast. Usually when I am writing, I create a
playlist that resembles a soundtrack for the scenes I am creating. Sadly, zombie-smashing music was not going
to help my furry little monster to settle down and take a nap.
Like most
authors, I usually endow my characters with some of my own personal
traits. For example, Emma from “Littleville
Uprising” has my vast and varied appreciation of music. My iTunes library is an eclectic blend of
virtually all genres of music. Given my
situation, classical was the clear choice.
After just a few beautifully melodic movements, my little ball of energy
curled up and drifted off to sleep.
Amazingly, music soothes beasts as well as “savage
breasts”.
