For a long time, I would write without music, because I thought it was distracting until I appreciated that it actually unlocks a certain unconscious productivity vault in my mind.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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 can't write a line without music - it provides just the right amount of distraction to keep me focused. Clearly, I still miss the noisy roommates.
I was always writing music anyway. I just sort of fell into it. Writing for me is a therapeutic process.
Sometimes I'll write without the guitar or the piano, but most of the time I'll be playing and just improvising some words. And when I get something that sounds good, a line with a story in it, I'll try and tease it out and figure out where the story is going.
I have music on when I write. I don't like the isolation otherwise and find the silence deadening.
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.
I have to have music on when writing, or else the silence swallows me whole.
I can't listen to music while writing - any such distraction would have dreadful consequences.
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.
