Jul. 20th, 2011 09:54 pmI had a lovely singing lesson yesterday, mostly working on My Man's Gone Now from Porgy and Bess, which I adore and was singing rather well. Exhausting, though.
Day 25: Music – Do you listen to music while you write? Do you make playlists to get into a certain "mood" to write your fic? Do you need noise in general? Or do you need it completely quiet?
I don't listen to music while I'm writing. Quite often, a story will spark off an idea, or augment a story notion that I have in my head, and maybe if I pause in the writing I'll give it an extra listen at the right moment to remind myself of what I want to say, but having music on in the background is basically too distracting. I can deal with noise, if I must, but I'd rather not have it.
