And if I can't find the perfect song for an idea, I go on a stall pattern until I find it. But when I do, there's no stopping me.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04154489593536422233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202274659436317634.post-41340737048575354302011-01-23T18:25:52.405-05:002011-01-23T18:25:52.405-05:00I listen to music when I write... most of the time...I listen to music when I write... most of the time. But the songs depend on what I'm writing. Usually I listen to pieces that either a) inspired the project, or b)are similar to the song that inspired the project.

But sometimes, I just click shuffle on iTunes. The most random songs have inspired some of the best scenes I've written.Marisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17707308994132444067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202274659436317634.post-71423829341079464702011-01-22T11:28:44.276-05:002011-01-22T11:28:44.276-05:00Nope, no music while writing for me.
