I always like having music play while I'm writing, especially when I've got writer's block. It helps me relax and get in my element. I'm always trying new types of music to help me out...any suggestions? Usually I'll just listen to music without lyrics or classical music, but I'm lookin for something new. My coworker from UMGD just introduced me to this compilation CD called Eclectic Cafe and it's become my new writing buddy. It's really mellow and since it's a mix of artists they all have their own unique style that keeps me interested. One of my favorite tracks is called "Don't Wait Too Long" by Madeleine Peyroux...it's got a mellow Billie Holiday feel Check it out: http://71.18.69.253/w/Dont_Wait_Too_Long.wma The album just came out last week I think so if you're looking for inspiration or at least some mellow music to help you concentrate, I would highly recommend it! Anyone else have suggestions for some good writing music?

Dear GW...

I always opine to listening to music of my liking in order to be inspired to write.  Seeking the best music for one's writer's beast is as compelling a need as one's need to write, at times.  I would suggest some serious Celtic music for times of romantic writing; some classical for times of upheaval writing; some '70's and 80's for joyful writing;

in other words...don't render a gender [of time] on music...let it flow, and so will your muse...

My insane advice?  Don't allow yourself to be penned in by any "one" thing.  Explore, enjoy, and don't implode....

just go with the flow of an oriole's song....

and then any other avenue.

Write on!
