"Five Days of Fairytales" Day 2: Songs to Create a Fairytale Mood

I was just going to have a list of random songs for everyone to listen to, but as I was listing them, I found a small story begin to emerge (that's the writer in me!). So here's a short fairy tale with a soundtrack! Enjoy! :-)

  1. Oh, my, I can tell that I'm going to be listening to these songs while I write for a long time to come! Such beautiful choices and the way you wove it all together - stunning! :)

    P.S. My favorite is There's A Place for Us. I have it playing on my blog. :)

  2. I'm glad you liked it! I listen to music while I write too. I always create a soundtrack for every story I write. It really helps me visualize the setting and characters better.

    Yeah, I've loved "There's a Place for Us" ever since the third Narnia movie came out. It's so beautiful! :-)
