I am always thinking about writing music; my wife is constantly asking me: 'Is there any way you can turn off the music part of your brain for a minute?' but I really can't! It's my form of therapy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As long as it's making you happy and you're enjoying it, then you should never stop writing music. Whether it's going to take you somewhere, viewed by other people, or it's literally you in a bedroom at home, it should be something that you do for yourself.
Because music is a language unto itself, when I'm writing, I need silence. I need to hear the music and the rhythms of the words inside my thoughts.
I have music in my brain all the time, all sorts.
I don't listen to music when I write. I need silence.
I listen to music constantly while writing.
I don't listen to music when I write - I find it distracting.
I can't listen to music while writing - any such distraction would have dreadful consequences.
I rarely listen to music while writing. I wish I could, but it distracts me.
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 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.
