Music and writing is a strange bedfellow for me. When I'm trying to find words or the right voice for something, I cannot stand to have any noise around me at all. Even the scratch of a pencil across the paper from three tables away can send me into a complete tailspin of irritation.
But, once I'm in the zone and the writing is flowing, you could play death metal music at top speed and it wouldn't bother me.
I do however like to listen to music when I'm coming up with the ideas, and when I'm editing.
My choice of music depends on what genre I'm writing. I am inordinately fond of soundtracks. "Mist of Avalon", Braveheart","Captain America", "Lord of the Rings", "Tron", etc. Usually songs with lyrics distract me too much. I want to sing along. :)
