Writer's advice for the day June 21st

10 Years Ago


Writer's tip #1: Listen to music that inspires you 
I often find myself working not only more diligently, but also writing better when I listen to certain types of music. Keep it mind that the type of music that motivates you will vary from the next person. Personally, I have a different type of music I like listening to depending on what I am writing. For instance, if I am writing an epic battle scene in a fantasy novel, I will go to youtube and type in "epic fantasy instrumental," or something like that, and listen to it as I work to rev my writing engine. However, if I am writing something emotionally driven, I'm more likely to listen to something by Yiruma or Joe Hisaishi. My personal favorite songs to listen to are: "One Summer's Day" by Joe Hisaishi (piano version) and "Kiss the Rain" by Yiruma.
What about you? Do you have any music that you listen to when you are writing? If so, what type of music is it? :)
