I know it is rather popular for writers to write to music, but I never listen to music when I am writing. Like I said yesterday, when I am writing new prose, I need to have it quiet with no outside stimuli. I tend to not listen to music when I revise either.
But that doesn’t mean music isn’t super important to my writing process. I have songs that I associate with my different stories and whenever I hear them, in the car or while I’m at work, that gets my brain going on that particular story. Sometimes that means I’ll have notes that I need to jot down real quick. Other times it means it just helps me to think through the story.
Songs that I associate with The Storyteller series:
Demons by Imagine Dragons
Payphone by Maroon Five
A Thousand Years by Christina Perri
