I’m the kind of writer who must have noise in the background. Writing in absolute silence is creepy. So I must have some kind of noise—whether it’s the sound of a bookstore or a cafe or music.
I can’t listen to music with lyrics though. I find them distracting for some reason. Unless I’m revising—it doesn’t seem to matter.
Here’s my current writing music that I’ve been listening to for the Summer Challenge—with my favorite star tracks I sometimes put on repeat.
