lathriel7. Do you listen to music while you write? What kind? Are there any songs you like to relate/apply to your characters?
As a general rule I do not listen to music when I write, and in fact can't really understand how anyone could. (That's not a criticism!!! Sometimes I wish I could!) Appreciation of art and the act of creating art don't mesh in my mind as something I can do at the same time. Especially if the songs have words- how can I listen to someone talking while I'm writing?
There are definitely songs that inspire me, though, and songs that make me think of my characters, but only in a loose way. I think sometimes we love our characters so much that we can turn anything into something relevant to their situation.
