A Piece Of My Heart

Music

Happy Sunday, all!

I've spent my morning re-reading several of the items that were nearly lost back when my account reverted to free and the port space to house those items was lost. Thankfully, WDC has a lovely feature to export your port, which I was able to do, so all my writings are still saved safely on my computer.

It's really making me feel nostalgic. Sure, my writing was clunky back then, but I had some guts to write the things I did. I had this character in my head and she was infinitely more feisty and cunning than I am. Re-reading her stories and the crap she got herself into is real fun. Maybe I'll try to get a little folder set up for her on here.

Anyway, while I was reading and trying to decide on a blog topic for today, I realized one thing has been constant from the time when I wrote about my pugnacious hero until now - my need to listen to music while I write.

My tastes have changed over the years, but I have never been able to write with voices in the background. That includes the TV, music with lyrics, or people talking.

Today I'm listening to:



Music has a way of getting my fingers moving. If I try to write without music, my brain starts wandering and my fingers can't find the right words on the keyboard. Music helps calm my brain and keeps my muse focused

Anyone else write with music?
