It used to be that I never listened to music while writing except for sometimes. Usually, I had on a movie in the background. But I discovered that I became distracted when it came to movies. So these days I usually put on the Pandora website, pull up Microsoft word, and get to work. With Pandora in the background and headphones on I'm not tempted to pull up a video or something because I don't want to miss the song I'm listening to. It's important for me to have music that goes with the mood of what I'm writing. For instance, I'm writing a very dark love story at the moment so I've been listening to a lot of Lana Del Rey. Her songs are like stories themselves.
If you haven't heard of her you should definitely check her out. She's like a 1940's jazz singer with a modern pop rock blend. Her songs tend to be about tragic love and longing which helps out when I'm writing scenes about people separated by time as I am at the moment.
I'm obsessed with a song of hers called Born To Die.
So what are some of your writing habits?
Love n' Stars,
