Greetings from the House of Mormont!
By participating in a Writing.com activity called "Game of Thrones" Open in new Window., I am in no way endorsing the GoT franchise or identifying as a fan thereof. I’m here to help my team win *Smile*

I’m having fun digging through WdC polls looking for good ones, responding and reviewing them. They’re so quick, and I don’t have to remind people of all those tedious formatting points and whatnot. Instead, I can ramble on foolishly about my own thoughts on the subject being polled.

As a dedicated, obsessive music lover, I take music far too seriously to play anything in the background when I’m trying to write fiction. As I said in Lilli’s Question of the Day, I need to focus on the world and the characters I’m creating, not get wrapped up in the stories within each song on my playlist. When I was first starting to build my music tastes, I would sit down an evening, pick a song, and simply put it on repeat for an hour or two, just sitting quietly, analyzing, breaking it down, imagining, writing about it, and creating art inspired by it. When I create an art piece directly related to a song, I like to play that particular song while I’m making the artwork so I can tap into the vibe.

But that doesn’t work when writing. I get inspired by music, but if I spend too much time soaking in the words of others, it can even be difficult to focus on the words I want to use to create my own “music,” so to speak. I have a naturally noisy, cluttered mind, and absolute peace and quiet helps me sort out my own unique thoughts and imaginings from those I’ve accumulated from the world around me. Music is a highly distracting thing for me, which can be a blessing and a curse. Sometimes I desperately need to be distracted. Other times I need to focus.

Thanks for posting this and allowing us the opportunity to share our thoughts on the matter. Take care and keep writing *HeartG*
