When I'm ready to write again, I would turn off the movie. :D<BR/><BR/>See you online.<BR/>Hey Sierra!

It was pretty much the driving point behind Melody of Love, especially since that's about a rock singer and the average girl. I can't say that when I listen to something that I have no problems in the world. Sometimes I have to really dig deep in myself and figure out the answer, or even brainstorm with a friend. I mostly listen to rock music when I write. I do have some dance music, too, that I listen to when things get soft and fluffy and upbeat. It really depends on how the story is going, or what just so happens to be playing on my playlist. =)Sarah Mäkelähttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239437847082720298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3424388616046602293.post-27555147425165167642008-12-11T12:31:00.000-05:002008-12-11T12:31:00.000-05:00Molly, I guess I'm a visual girl because I don't g...Molly, I guess I'm a visual girl because I don't get inspiration from music. I love music, but it doesn't inspire me. It does put me in happy, lusty, energetic or sad moods though. <BR/><BR/>I'm a visual gal though. I can see of picture of something totally random and it'll bring about inspiration. When I find a picture like that, I save it and go back to it often throughout the story. OR, in a particular incident that just happened yesterday...I've been struggling with a crucial sub-story within my current story. I saw a picture yesterday on the web and BAM I knew immediately what that sub-story was. I saved the picture, even though it isn't cruically affecting the whole book.<BR/><BR/>So, you guys have your music and I have my pictures. I guess it's kinda, somewhat, similar, or even maybe not the same. <BR/><BR/>Toodles!Gracen Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01394835340529761948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3424388616046602293.post-86961536826976261512008-12-11T09:21:00.000-05:002008-12-11T09:21:00.000-05:00I have three instances where music influenced me.1...I have three instances where music influenced me.<BR/><BR/>1) I had to make revisions and spent 4 days going through my entire CD collection (only had about 5 in those days!), only to pop in the Aqua CD ("Barbie Girl") and wrote like a madwoman, playing it through about 5 times before I finished! Go figure...<BR/><BR/>2) I was seated in the bar area of a restaurant, waiting to be interviewed, when Prince came on. Suddenly I'm whipping out my planner and outlining the next book in my series.<BR/><BR/>3) More recently, I had one of those unexpected days to myself, so I put on my newly purchased Bon Jovi CD ("Lonesome Highway") and three hours later, had finished writing my latest book:)<BR/><BR/>I never know what music is going to 'trip the creative button', but boy am I glad when it does!Molly Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01488325587798390008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3424388616046602293.post-60732784608105410392008-12-11T08:09:00.000-05:002008-12-11T08:09:00.000-05:00Hi, Pandem!

It’s like having my own personal mute button and the world just goes silent. The kids can be screaming and killing each other and I do not hear it. It’s wonderful! You and all the other writers in the world should buy yourself a “mental mute button”. ;-) Again, like Sierra, the T.V. is typically on in the background, but it’s just background noise that I once again mute out. And when I do listen to music, like Sierra, once again, it’s just because I’m in the mood. Strangely, I sometimes find that music can be distracting and can hinder the writing flow.Gracen Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01394835340529761948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3424388616046602293.post-58240349309749204612008-12-11T07:39:00.000-05:002008-12-11T07:39:00.000-05:00Great post, Pandem.

It really has nothing to do with my writing. Usually, I just have the tv on in the background and pretty much tune it out anyway. When I'm really writing well, I tune out everything and my attention is completely focused on the writing. I'm very good at tuning out the outside world, my family hates that. :D<BR/><BR/>I do know a lot of writers use music to help them write. Some say they can't write without it. It's very interesting.Sierra Wolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09815380178844582560noreply@blogger.com
