I love to listen to music while I'm working, I sing in the car, hum to myself, tap my fingers to a beat... (Once, on an elevator, I was smiling, humming a Strauss waltz - I think it was 'Viennese Blood' - and tapping my fingers on the wall, quietly, to the beat. Someone got on, eyed me and said, "Well! I guess you're impatient, eh???" I raised my eyebrows and said, "I'm humming a waltz and keeping time with the beat." I didn't think it was such a fabulous comeback, but he shut right up and rode the rest of the way with his eyes on the floor.<br /><br />With my writing, though, I can't listen to music with words. It's too distracting. Funny, though: Songs often help to clarify my thoughts about a character or a situation.<br /><br />Diana at <a href="http://www.dianawilderauthor.com/" rel="nofollow">Diana Wilder, Author</a>Diana Wilderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11074083771067857127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6323118066785311281.post-58740339208075499602013-09-08T12:36:01.886-05:002013-09-08T12:36:01.886-05:00A little late to the party, Lara, but listen to mu...A little late to the party, Lara, but listen to music all the time.

Some days I think I'd be lost without my iPod.<br /><br />As to what I listen to, it varies depending on what I'm doing and how I'm feeling. All my WIPs have their own playlists, but serious writing days mean instrumental movie soundtracks (i.e., the Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones). M.J.

Because I have to answer the phone and I sometimes can´t concentrate on the call, if there is music in the backround. But it depends on the volume of the music, if it is soft enough it is okay :)Sarah Meralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02830606594477853954noreply@blogger.com
