I only listen to music while writing when I need to feel a very specific, powerful emotion. I'm one of the few who don't have wIP playlists!

I love the different ways people get their ideas. I use music as a creative catalyst, not as the original source. Fascinating!<br /><br />Good music!

And, really, I don't listen to songs with words while I'm writing (it distracts me). Instead I listen to movie soundtracks. But at the end of my first draft I'll start gathering songs for a playlist. I always envied writers who could write to songs. I just end up listening and not writing. <br /><br />Also, I love that Seether song.Tracey Neithercotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16539278941411542797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3049843947098881146.post-29059743734969398822011-04-27T10:50:17.430-04:002011-04-27T10:50:17.430-04:00i use music for a lot of things (boosting the mood...i use music for a lot of things (boosting the mood, creating a mood, running, walking) but the one thing i didn't use it for was writing. <br /><br />i'm working on fixing that now.<br /><br />the only problem is that i can't have music on when i write. the lyrics interfere with the creation of my own words, so i have to listen to the songs before i start writing to get me in the proper frame of mind. i think it's working though!abby mumfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15945527585028871186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3049843947098881146.post-87587929171855301352011-04-27T10:23:47.032-04:002011-04-27T10:23:47.032-04:00Music is the one thing I can absolutely not live w...Music is the one thing I can absolutely not live without. It has the ability to cheer me when I am down. Make me smile when I thought I couldn't. Make me wanna get up and dance. <br /><br />All of my favorite memories are tied to music. For some, it may be a smell, or a taste. For me it is song. When I hear Barbara Streisand sing I am transported back to the summer before I left for bootcamp with my Gram. <br /><br />And there are specific songs that take me back that even now, when they come on, I crank them up and let myself remember. <br /><br />Love, love, love Music. So of course it only goes that music and writing go hand and hand.Kelly Breakeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07170230808730463954noreply@blogger.com
