Today it was Ironic, by Alanis Morissette. Totally made me think of Calli, the main character in my WiP. (Ironic, isn't it?)
Has that happened to you? Do you have a song that could practically be the theme for your MC?
Isn't it Ironic?
Music and me = inspiration. As far as writers go, that's nothing new, but once in a while a song will come on the radio and make you immediately think of your MC. (Not "This made me think of something new to write", but "This is exactly like a person I'm writing or have already written about".)

Yes! And the theme song for Charlotte in Going for Kona (my "Novel #2) would be Good Charlotte's "I Just Wanna Live."
That's a great song Pamela!!!
I was listening to Jagged Little Pill yesterday while getting my oil changed! Such a great album...
But yeah. Rolling Stones "Saint of Me" is practically my MC's theme. Though I think she's getting nicer, so maybe I need to re-evaluate that one... :-)
The main characters in all five of my books had their own theme songs!
You have an award today!
Diane, I was doing laundry earlier and I thought about what you said about the characters having theme songs. It's been bugging me ever since! So here's my question. Did you write them?
