The Challenge
Find a song to go with each chapter of the book, both in content and vibe. BUT, since I list the music I listened to while writing in the credits of my books, I was only permitted to use that music. An interesting retrospective into how my writing may or may not have been influenced by the music, despite not listening to the specific songs while writing the respective chapter. Relating these songs to the content of the book also involves an observation of the universal experiences that are shared through personal stories in books and music.
