I was just listening to a really interesting programme on radio 4 about fan fiction - though I was planning to write... and clearly I couldn't think and listen to the programme at the same time. Which got me thinking... Do you listen to music while you work? Do you find music with lyrics interrupts your chain of thought? Specifically, what do you listen to?
I am a YouTube playlist addict when it comes to writing with music, so I tend to find I need music to write well. I tend to find that I pick the music to match the style of scene I am writing as it helps me to set the right tone. At the moment, as I am writing this, I am listening to the E.T theme tune... I'm not sure what this says about this particular reply though... :o
i listen to the final fantasy vii soundtrack when i write
I live in the centre of the city with construction of a building four stories tall next door. There's a lot of noise that needs drowning here :P
