Dawn: Well Suri Nicks of course! She's my go-to when it comes to writing! *Giggles* That Llama speaks to my soul...But otherwise, when I'm not leaning on Suri for inspiration I tend to kind of...okay, I don't do this all the time, but sometimes when I'm aiming to sort of, put myself in the proper mindset to write a chapter with a specific mood, I'll pull up a playlist of 'mood music'.
Vernon: So like emotional songs fer emotional scenes and like, rock songs fer fight scenes?
Dawn: Right, I'll also sometimes pull up playlists that are vaguely time period specific. For instance, I've recently started writing a supernatural crime drama set in...well at least starting around the 1920s deco period. So I'll pull up a bunch of oldies by the Peltspots or Ella Fitzgergrowled. Maybe a whole playlist of swing and Jazz, although I've recently taken a real liking to...I think it's called electro-swing, though I couldn't mention any specific artists aside from I think...maybe Caravan Pawlace? Most of the other songs are just electro remixes of old songs.
Vernon: Ohh, yeah I like them electro swing song y'all put on...love that sound. Surprised the pups seem to go for it too...Aside from Alli anyway.
Dawn: So she says, but you know Alli...it's all about not being seen liking what she likes...*Giggles* She's at that age where she's concerned about maintaining an image...
Vernon: *Chuckles* True, I was like that...I mean don't get me wrong, I love rock and metal stuff like The Killers, Cheetah's Palace, Gorillaz, Metaillica, Pound Garden, Pink Bovoid, Queen...I could go on, but I also had a weakness fer ol' video game chiptune music which I was real self-conscious about fer years.
Dawn: Aww...Puppy, but why? I mean you were part of your BnB club in high school...you know Gus and the others wouldn't have cared...
Vernon: It wasn't about savin' face in front o' them, heck it was one of the few places I could enjoy chip music cause Gus was real into it too. Well, that and black metal like Rammstein...
Dawn: Really? Rammstein?
Vernon: I mean, he grew up with Gil fer a brother...o'course that was gonna bleed over...
Dawn: Ah, right...
Vernon: Nah, the real reason I was self-conscious was cause I lived with Yuri. A bully that had access to his victim purty much 24-7. Last thang I wanted to do was give him more salvo to pick on me with... By Oldwyn's great grey muzzle he never, ever let Xavier live it down when he caught him listenin' to the Backstreet Baah's....*Shakes head* Er' Britney Spears...N'Mink and the Mice Girls too...
Dawn: *Giggling*Lamb Shanks...I...Xavier was into pop bands? *Tries to stifle a smirk* I-I would have never guessed.
Vernon: Yeah, the signs were really all there weren't they. To be fair, Xavier ain't a fan now...he regrets what he dubbed his previously 'terrible taste'.
