Whenever I write a novel, music just sort of naturally slips in (much like cats do, I suppose).
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I first started writing, I used to listen to music all the time because it would make time pass more quickly. And then I started to wonder if the music wasn't affecting my writing in ways that I didn't necessarily intend.
Sometimes it feels like my story overshadows my music.
But I never listen to music while I'm writing.
It's hard to write music for specific things, because I'm always writing just to write.
I never listen to music when I'm writing.
I listen to music constantly while writing.
I don't listen to music when I write - I find it distracting.
I rarely listen to music while writing. I wish I could, but it distracts me.
I rarely listen to music while writing. If I don't like it, it bothers me, and if I like it, it absorbs me so much I can't write.
I don't listen to music when I write, but I do turn on appropriate music when I read portions of my manuscripts back to myself - kind of like adding a soundtrack to help shape mood.
