When I’m writing, I usually like to have a little music on in the background. For me, silence is more distracting that having something on in the backgroud: music, tv, etc. I don’t really have anything in particular I listen to when I write, like a theme song or something. I just listen to whatever I’m in the mood for. Usually it ends up being rock music – metal, classic, or alternative – or j-pop/j-rock, or classical music. The last couple of times it was classical. But I also like country music, jazz, and big band music as well. Β But whatever I end up listening to usually gets zoned out when I get involved in writing the story or whatever. So, what do you all like to listen to when you’re working?

Ooh, nice thought! Me too, I am almost always listening to something, most often classical or Sometimes listening to a particular song inspires me to write something!

Oooh, jrock? I’ve been listening to Buck-Tick almost constantly for the past three years. Who do you listen to?
Thanks very much for participating in SoCS, Jeanne! I enjoyed your post and I agree – while writing, music is the perfect thing. π

Another Jrock fan? Awesome π I love Hyde and L’arc en Ciel, and Dir en Grey. Also Hide. I also like a lot of anime theme songs. I have a couple of stations on Iheartradio I stream, for Hyde and Dir en Grey, that play other jrock and jpop bands, too.

Cool – I’ll have to check that out. I used to be a big fan of Gackt too. I went to Japan to see his concert. π Seriously considering going back.

Enjoyed your post! I, too, listen to music – mostly rock, jazz, blues, maybe a little country. Depends on my mood & what I am writing!

I like to write without background noise or music. Maybe because I am trained as a musician, I find that it draws my mind away from my writing.
