There are a few of us, who enjoy listening to music as we write. While there are a number of us, who love writing in silence, without the distraction of a musical tune, circling inside your head. On the other hand there are several us, who enjoy listening to music as we work and write. Some may say that music helps to encourage creativity.
I love listening to music, as I write and work. I also love watching movies and serials, while I write. I feel that it encourages my creativity. I do have a number of songs that I love to listen to on a regular basis, which are usually rock and roll, American bluegrass and popular songs, that catch my attention and make me feel good. A few of my favourite singers would be Sting, Michael Bolton, and a few of the latest ones. I love the soundtracks from action movies.
What songs do you like to listen to as you write, and do you keep a favourite playlist on Spotify? I feel that the lyrics of songs, can be very powerful, in triggering creative ideas. Sometimes, just a simple word or phrase, can help me to create a poem, article, story or blog post.
A song is a celebration, and it helps the singer to share his or her life experiences, through the words that they sing. I feel that as writers, we can identify, with this expression of creativity. Do you enjoy listening to music as you write and do you have particular songs, that encourage you to visualize your next poem, story or article?
What is the soundtrack of your writing life and do you have a secret mixture of songs or playlist, that seem to work for you, as a writer? We would love to know your thoughts about the soundtracks of your life.
