Okay, writers. This one’s for you, especially if you’ve signed up for a writing challenge called National Novel Writing Month, which starts today! Thirteen songs, enough to fit nicely on a CD, that pertain to writing in some way or another—and don’t try to tell me Struggle doesn’t fit—we’ve all struggled to get words at some point, so it’s in.
Enjoy, and happy writing.
