Blog Chain - What Makes You Feel?

Today's Blog Chain topic was chosen by the lovely Kate, who wants to know what inspires us. Her instructions:

Post pictures, songs, movie clips, poems, or novel excerpts that make you feel. Feel what, you ask? Feel anything. Happy. Sad. Angry. Nostalgic. Hopeful. Hopeless. Jealous. Joyful. 


I have read in several different places that YA novelist John Green said of his latest novel, The Fault In Our Stars that he wants to make his readers "Feel All The Things." I would love that someone could go through this blog chain and through what we all choose to post have that same Feel All The Things feeling.


For me, music is what make me feel the most. A good, peppy song can instantly put me in a great mood. And I always listen to music to get me in the writing mood. Especially for those really intense scenes. When I need to really "feel" I usually turn to Rob Dougan, Evanescence, E.S. Posthumous, Apocalyptica, Chopin and other classical masters. Here are a few of my favorites :)



The Apocalyptica videos wouldn't embed, but any of their songs, espeically Bittersweet and Not Strong Enough I absolutely love - go listen! :D And be sure to check out PK's post from yesterday and Tere's tomorrow :)
