Or, if I do, it must be instrumental only - no voices - and be turned down to almost subliminal volume. I think it's because I sing and play music, I get easily drawn into what I'm listening to and I can't concentrate on that and the writing at the same time. :)Carolan Iveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11964204665748083341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869464170817632469.post-87407643233034627532008-08-02T09:25:00.000-05:002008-08-02T09:25:00.000-05:00Diane!A girl after my own heart!I love country mus...Diane!<BR/>A girl after my own heart!<BR/>I love country music. My first contemporary paranormal for Loose Id was inspired by Tim McGraw's "Real, Good Man". The title wound up being another country song that fit so perfectly, I couldn't believe it!<BR/>"No One Else on Earth".<BR/>The story was set in a male strip club called, naturally, "Real, Bad Boys".<BR/>In the works is a sequel - "Behind Closed Doors". ;~D<BR/>There are so many wonderful country ballads that tell a story and all those hunky men singing them - and those purty women!Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12430195762629030092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869464170817632469.post-91954375013982265952008-08-02T09:07:00.000-05:002008-08-02T09:07:00.000-05:00I agree with this whole heartedly!

Many ideas spring to mind while listening.

For me, it's all about "mood".<BR/><BR/>And sometimes their mood is "weird."<BR/><BR/>For instance, my current WIP's characters like to be written to a combination of Evanescence, They Might Be Giants, and Animusic.<BR/><BR/>See? Weird. But if I try to listen to anything else, they refuse to speak. So I'm stuck with an "emo" robot who's wondering about the nightlight in his soul.<BR/><BR/>Frankly, I'd rather have the fanged cowboy, but as the saying goes, "When life hands you lemons, turn them into lemgrenades and hand them back."Dana Marie Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12658055694533650313noreply@blogger.com
