Took me a while, but now it's a must. At first, i couldn't listen to anything with lyrics. I was (and still am) not the greatest typist, and lyrics distracted me.

I can't read carefully when there's music in the background. I don't think I write very carefully with music playing, either. I definitely cannot outline, revise, or edit. I only have about fifteen brain cells left, and I need every one for the task at hand. <br />
<br />
HOWEVER...I do use music to help me think through parts of my work while I'm driving. Did RGB say that already? Then, what he said.

I really don't bother with music when I'm reading anymore. When I was in high school I would sit on my bed in my room with a tape playing and read, but I would get so involved in the book that when the tape would shut off I would literally jump because I had completely stopped noticing that it was even playing.<br />
<br />
I can understand why music would become involved for the writer, but I guess for me once I start reading and my imagination takes over there's just no space for music to work itself…

NPR affliate KQED has a podcast called the Writers Block, wherein they produced a reading of the first chapter of my latest CANDY FROM STRANGERS, which involves a jazz gig at a bar. And while they couldn't get the rights to the tunes mentioned in the text, they did score it with some original tunes from the Kurt Ribak Trio, including a great one called "Prelude to a B Movie."<br />

Yes. I've used: Sin City, 25th Hour, Vertigo, and many others depending on the work. Which reminds me I have to go and buy The Departed’s track. … I make mixes out of them with Media Player, and then arrange them. Sometimes making the mix can be a distraction however. <br />

You know, I don't listen to Cohen, but I do own Stranger Music. I should go back and read it again. <br />
<br />
I keep waiting for Tom Waits to inspire something, but his songs are so complete as is. However, they have fit works already in progress. Can't complain about that, I guess.

I use music for inspiration and to help me focus on a story. The upside is that I can use it as a sort of shorthand to get back into a project that I've been away from for a few days or longer. The song reminds me of what I'm trying to do with it.<br />
<br />
On the downside I end up listening to the same dozen songs over and over again. for weeks or months at a time.<br />
<br />
But I can't listen to it while I'm writing, especially if it has words. Just screws me up completely.

I sort of try to do whatever I'm biased against. So once I noticed I didn't like the idea of soundtracks, I started making them. <br />
<br />
Now that I like them, I'll probably make a point of avoiding them.
