Author: Music can help you tune into your characters' emotions

Author Kim Bullock can remember, so vividly, the ways in which she defined herself through the music she listened to in her younger years.

Nowadays, she does the same for her characters, in a way.

Listening to music that she imagines resonating with them helps her to write from their perspective, she says.

Bullock gives a few examples of how music as character immersion works, depending on which genre you write, in a post at Writer Unboxed.
