Inspiration...
... came from music and mainly from my own school days. I just sat down at the computer one Sunday, put on my headphones and started writing. That's how my first book started.
When I write, I usually listen to music to get me in the "right" mood. I often listen to the same song for hours. Here is a list of songs I listened to while writing the first book. As a note, I would like to add that there are many songs in the list that are not usually part of my playlist.
- Yiruma „River Flows in You“
- 30 Seconds To Mars „The Kill“
- Paha Polly „Naerame“
- Guru Josh Project „Infinity“
- Akon „Beautiful“
- Righteous Brothers „Unchained Melody“
- Bruce Springsteen „Because the night“
- Ivo Linna „Aita mööda saata öö“
- Iron and Wine „Flightless Bird“
- Evenescence „Anywhere“
