Recently I started making playlists for each of my characters with music that reminds me of each character. These playlists are made up of songs my siblings and I listen to. Below I share my playlist for the character Hesper.
Hesper’s Playlist

This is the link to my full Spotify Playlist for Hesper. I’ll be adding songs over time, so be sure to check it out.
I will post new playlists for my other characters, so look out for upcoming blog articles! The number of songs doesn’t necessarily denote the importance of a character, it’s just how well songs I know fit the character.
Do any of my fellow writers have character playlists? If so, comment below so I can check them out! If not, I challenge you to try it and share!
