A Playlist of Sorts

I’m not one for book-themed playlists. However, as I was nearing the end of writing Pushing Daisy, I was thinking about what I listen to while I write. Well, I tend to write with shows or movies on in the background, so I thought I would provide a list of TV shows and movies I’ve had playing as I wrote. Thus, in no particular order:

TV shows:

•Grey’s Anatomy

•Schitt’s Creek

•Friends

•Gilmore Girls

•Amazing Race (both US and Canada versions)

•Survivor

•Gossip Girl

•One Tree Hill

•Bridgerton

•Orange is the New Black

•2024 Summer Olympics

Movies:

•Halloweentown franchise

•Practical Magic

•The Craft

•The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise

•Dirty Dancing

•Back to the Future

•The Proposal

•Scream franchise

•Hamilton: The Musical

•Waitress: The Musical

•The Kindergarten Cop

•Toy Story franchise

•Moana

•Mulan

•A Bug’s Life

•Twister

•The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 1 & 2

•Hope Floats

•Split

•and any number of cheesy Hallmark-style romance movies.

Anyway, this is my (non-exhaustive) playlist of sorts. These stories exist in the background and have kept me company while I create stories of my own. I hope you’ve found something you enjoyed or even a new piece to watch—because they are all great in their own, sometimes cheesy, way.
