Aiden Bailey
I don’t wait for inspiration. When I have the time I just write. The ideas are already there, as I mentioned earlier. This is the time to get them on paper. Editing, which comes later, refines each scene.
Music helps to kick start me. I have track lists on Spotify for each scene in each novel I am writing, selected as if they were the soundtrack to my book as a movie. Playing the track quickly puts me in the frame of mind to write the scene I’m working on.
For The Benevolent Deception I listened to a lot of Chemical Brothers, Crystal Method, Leftfield, Moby, many African artists and various soundtracks from movies including Body of Lies, Sicario, Spooks the Greater Good, the Jason Bourne movies, The Martian and Spy Game.
