It's hard coming up with a new title for the Drollerie Press blog tour posts every month, so I'll be resorting to B movie genre conventions for a while. You can look forward to such sequels as Son of Blog Tour, Revenge of Blog Tour, Bride of Blog Tour, and I Was a Teenage Blog Tour Post.
This month, we're all writing about music, and one of the great pleasures of the blog tour is seeing how other writers use the same tools and tropes very differently. For me, music conjures character quite literally: If I offer the character some time listening to music s/he likes, the character will sometimes surface in my mind and tell me how to fix the story. (My post will be appearing at Cindy Lynn Speer's A Pen and Fire--more specific link to come as soon as it's up.)
For Joely Sue Burkhart, music is more tied to plot than to character, and she thinks of the movement of the story in terms of melody. You can find out more about her and her books here.
