Tipsy Tuesday

Music can be a writer's muse. It can help focus your thoughts and aid in getting into a good writing groove. And what works may depend on the type of scene you're writing. Most of the time, if I'm listening to music while writing, it's light classical--nothing too "loud" that will break my concentration. It's just enough to fill the silence.

But sometimes, especially for darker scenes, I find Evanescence works great for me--even with lyrics, which in many cases can prove to be too distracting. There's just something about their sound/style that allows the writing to flow.

Happy writing!

I looove putting a 'theme' song to stories! My favorite is light classical, acoustic guitar and Native American flute! Coupled with images of Jay Tavare it's a wonder I get anything done! :) Oh wait, then there's Jimmy Thomas, Viggo Mortenson, Mario Lopez... Oh hell, you get the idea... lol!!
