Great playlist! Here's one that I like to listen to just as I'm sitting down to write in the morning: http://blip.tv/file/2728279?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+OnThePage+%28On+The+Page%3A+Screenwriting%29
ReplyDeleteIt only lasts about twenty seconds, if that, but it really gets me motivated...
Oh Lindsey, you hit the nail on the head. I'm downloading these songs for my "get your butt out of bed" playlist. Do you know what else gets me going? ARMY cadence. The Airborne Rangers make CDs of their cadence while marching/jogging. It's mixed to a beat and INTENSE! Great to run to. Leslie- I'm looking up your song too! Since we're talking blogs, check out my AP Students' blog at: http://www.wengelapstudio.blogspot.com

No need to start downloading. I'll just make you a CD! Wow. Army cadence sounds really intense. That's probably what I should be listening too. I'm definitely checking out your students' blog!
