How The Piano Guys are related to Writing

As promised from Mondays blog post, here is how The Piano Guys are related to writing.  But first let me introduce you to The Piano Guys.

Scratch that.  GO HERE to read Their Story.  I will wait.

Have you finished? No?  Okay, I will continue to wait.

Honestly, the rest of this blog post really isn't gonna make much sense if you don't go read that.   No worries, I will continue to wait. . .  . . . . . . . . .

Finished?  Yes?  Oh good!  

As I was saying,  The Piano Guys have helped me with my writing very much so.  Here is how. 

It was a beautiful day when my best friend, Lizzy came to hang out.   We went for a little drive and she had a CD playing in her car.  I couldn't help but wonder what we were listening to.  The music was BEAUTIFUL!  
So, I asked her.  And her reply was "This is The Piano Guys."  - This being after she just showed me The Piano Guys' One Direction video'.-  So I look at her and all I can think is SERIOUSLY?? Why have I not heard of these wonderful musicians before?!?!?!?! 

After our "hang-out" ended, I promptly went home and listened to every piece of musical goodness from The Piano Guys.  (Oh how I love YouTube).  

Of course 'Secrets' is my favorite song from them!  It is beautiful and I love it!  I have listened to this song on repeat for weeks now.   And it is with this song that The Piano Guys helped me with writing.  

There I was sitting on my bed,  listening to 'Secrets' while blogging and e-mailing and doing other things.  And I was hit with inspiration!  

It has been six months now since I quit working on my novel 'Missing Royal'.  And yet, listening to that song, I was brought back to a moment in the novel where this music would fit perfectly.  I couldn't stop thinking about it.   I immediately got out my manuscript, looked at it with a sigh and began reading.  

And I haven't stopped.  I am currently editing 'Missing Royal'.  I hope to have it ready to send to publishers sometime in November.  I am currently searching for any and all advice on Query Letters which, if you have any advice, you can help me out by GOING HERE

So the point to all of this?  To sharing how much I LOVE The Piano Guys and how I can relate them to writing?  Not really.  My entire point is, when you are feeling lost in from writing,  when you don't feel like writing, when you just can't seem to find the right words to write, never give up hope.  And be open to inspiration wherever it may come.  Because it will come and when it does, make sure you're ready for it.  

And in other ways I can relate The Piano Guys to writing?  
Have fun!  I watch their videos and see how much fun they have while making a living doing what they love and all I can hope for every Author, every musician and everyone with a dream,  is that you have fun while living it.

    1. I just got to see them in concert as well! I was in awe the entire time! And I think half of their "views" on youtube are from me. :)

      I'm so glad I found them.
