I love watching a rom-com when the music is fabulous as well. I'm always Shazam-ing songs I hear and am always surprised when it turns out to be someone I know...but didn't know *that* was their song! IMHO Music and romance absolutely go together. Win win.

Funily enough it is the silence that is distracting for me, a car driving past, a conversation next door, a phone ringing, dogs barking. All these things distract me so music is my go to. I listen to a mix of music depending on my mood or the scene. I like Two Steps from Hell who are not heavy metal as one might think but write dramatic and uplifting movie, game and instrumental music.

I enjoy the sounds of nature from my home and can equally write in a hotel/on an aeroplane provided it's relatively quiet. I love music when I'm doing the housework but never writing!!Alyssa J Montgomery https://www.blogger.com/profile/04062923136693943821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603806150366948575.post-74964488263840379622020-02-18T20:13:00.579+11:002020-02-18T20:13:00.579+11:00Rock and sappy songs are both excellent ends of th...Rock and sappy songs are both excellent ends of the spectrum Enisa!Kristine Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13225943245120896454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603806150366948575.post-57201964156011201032020-02-17T22:47:51.754+11:002020-02-17T22:47:51.754+11:00I will admit to overly loving rock music and sappy...I will admit to overly loving rock music and sappy love songs. And when I listen to a song, often the lyrics bring my imagination to life and I'm visualising characters, scenes, plots, while the song plays. I love it when I heR a new song and it unexpectedly takes me to the story I'm writing. But when I'm writing, songs are too much of a distraction.Enisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14618040099949009436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603806150366948575.post-376022225940884772020-02-17T19:21:51.861+11:002020-02-17T19:21:51.861+11:00Thanks Jayne.

I've been listening to medieval music while writing my medieval/contemporary timeslip series, and it really helps me to get started and focus on the story.
