Music helps a lot. I begin with a playlist that I add different scores to, to fit each scene, character or specific occurrence, be it just a single track or numerous ones for the same scene I am writing.
If whilst writing my draft I believe the track is suited to another scene, or it no longer inspires me, I simply move the track up, down or delete it. I am always adding more tracks to each scene and deleting others whilst writing the novel which by the end of it gives me a musical outline of the story.
When I am in the revising process of novel writing, I delete the scores I no longer need or listen to in the playlist. I also add more if I have come across a score suited to the scene which, by the end of it, does lead to a long playlist.
