I do sometimes try to match the feel of what I'm writing.<br /><br />The novel I want to work on during NaNo involves bluegrass music, so I usually will let iTunes play my bluegrass instrumental playlist while I work with it. I also try to listen to the song it's title is take from to keep me inspired.<br /><br />SandraSandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01586904935053769954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580797059731805905.post-44817929539881172442009-10-17T14:44:49.361-07:002009-10-17T14:44:49.361-07:00It's definitely something that happened to me ...It's definitely something that happened to me after 35. When I was a kid I could do schoolwork and have the radio and/or TV on. In my 20's I always had music on, and my son used to fall asleep to his radio or my singing. It's like after the girls were born they created so much noise that my brain screamed, "Enough!" and even if they just call my name when I'm writing it totally messes me up.<br /><br /><br />CherylCherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03470069911115912344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580797059731805905.post-74812524071379521962009-10-17T09:52:11.103-07:002009-10-17T09:52:11.103-07:00I've never played with the music/novel connect...I've never played with the music/novel connection either. However, when writing a couple weeks ago, I heard a song that had a great line in it that so totally fit with the scene I was about to write that I had to put it in the story. <br /><br />Too funny cheryl. I need noise of some kind in the background. I ususally tune it out but silence bothers me. Guess it's cause it's seldom silent here.:-)Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15060752369115661100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580797059731805905.post-3768776435440091292009-10-17T07:46:02.343-07:002009-10-17T07:46:02.343-07:00I've never had an actual dedicated 'soundt...I've never had an actual dedicated 'soundtrack' when I write that's specific for my book. I do like to put on musical scores from movies or video games, something with a rhythm.<br /><br />I grew up playing the clarinet and music reaches me on a different kind of level than anything. Don't know why, but when I was trying to stay awake in college doing comparative anatomy homework "Lord of the Rings" saved my life.<br /><br />Also, I think putting on my music lessens the other distractions around me like my beautiful stack of books waiting to be read and my fiance playing his video games. Music gives me the ok to tune everything out and write.<br /><br />- ChrissyUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15011992900544983831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580797059731805905.post-48629500084914272652009-10-16T21:23:26.514-07:002009-10-16T21:23:26.514-07:00I can't stand any noise around me when I write...I can't stand any noise around me when I write. If I am doing something tedious like copying and pasting press releases I can have music on, but not for anything else. <br /><br />Since we just had our first flurries, I would probably pop in "Snow" by the von Trapp Children into the laptop while I work.<br /><br />CherylCherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03470069911115912344noreply@blogger.com
