Music and Writing

by Lily Dooner

When writing do you listen to music to inspire your work? And if so what music do you choose to listen to and why? Or do you find that listening to music distracts you too much while your writing? I've always liked listening to music while I'm writing but what do other users think?

When I want to listen to music when I write, I listen to music by an artist called Erutan (Katethegreat19 on youtube) since most of her music has a Fantasy feel to it, which is the genre I'm writing in.

Sometimes, light music gets me into the mood to write although when I'm typing away my story, I want absolute silence and cannot stand distractions of any kind.
