Whenever I make music, it reflects where I'm at mentally.

I think music all the time.

I listen to music constantly while writing.

I listen to a lot of different kinds of music.

Music is pretty much all I do.

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.

Music is my therapy and my straitjacket. Music keeps me sane and keeps my mind on something. It's fragile up there.

There's no doubt that there's certain songs and arrangements of music that release a chemical reaction in my brain. This sounds a little goofy, but I really believe that. It's such a euphoric experience that I sort of want to chase that experience as often as possible.

But I never listen to music while I'm writing.
