nilchance7. Do you listen to music while you write? What kind? Are there any songs you like to relate/apply to your characters?
I live on music while writing. I have two separate writing mixes, plus the mixes I tend to make for each project. Only a fraction of those mixes ever get refined and posted, because in most cases I can't justify to anybody else why that particular song works for that character, it just does.
After a few rounds of listening to the mix while I write, the music starts to act as a kind of trigger phrase for me: this music is on, and so it's time to write. My tastes are eclectic and so the music is eclectic. When my computer was busted, and I borrowed T's, I turned on our TV's satellite radio stations and flipped between coffee house rock and hard rock.
LOLs because these things change, and also because you can see how cliched my fannish taste in music is.
