Sara’s Music List for Woodhouse Hall

Sara.jpg

When I write books in the 21st Century Austen series, I like to listen to mostly women. I do add in men but mostly for songs that will be a bit faster paced. I have a Pandora station that rotates my favorite musicians, but I also keep my favorite songs on a small iPod shuffle to listen to when I need to work through scenes. I listen to the music while I run through the scenes in my head, trying to see multiple ways it could work out basic on different sets of details. Here’s the main list of songs that helped me write Woodhouse Hall.
