I write while listening to music, mostly because the world beyond my headphones is too chaotic.

I don't listen to music when I'm writing, but I often do when I'm reworking, editing or when I need to relax.

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 never listen to music when I'm writing.

I never listen to music when I write.

I listen to lots of music, especially Bach, opera (all periods), German lieder, chamber music, and rock, old and new. I can't listen to music while I write. It's too absorbing.
