I do sometimes put on the Golden Girls with no volume.

I do however take writing breaks with my music. That works fine.

I used to listen to real heavy stuff--Dire Straits, Alan Parsons, Tears For Fears, etc. It sucked me into a black hole of emotion that I didn't even know was happening. Then I had a manic episode. Frustrated, I sat under a tree for six hours one night. No cell phone, no nothing. Just me in the park, hidden under the tree. When I got out of bed the next day, this information came into my head: quit listening to music. (And a few other things.) I obeyed it and was finally able to separate myself from it and see how it was affecting me. I almost never let myself listen to the heavy stuff anymore.

Another reason why I simply cannot listen to music while writing. I love music but I get too involved in it (how can you ignore Mozart?) and I lose my writing focus. So all is quiet on the western front when I write. I wish it were otherwise but nope.

Usually I'm a country girl (Luke Bryan, Blake Shelton, Shania Twain, etc). But I also like alternative and some pop. Depends on my mood.

Since music usually makes me sink fully into it, I'm having difficulties focusing on the writing process and the music at the same time. It's somewhat easier to just plunge deep into my thoughts and my story without music, unless I really need to get into a certain mood in order to portray a scene with words. Whenever I feel like I need music to help me with my writing, I choose from a large variety of genres - from symphonic metal to country ballads. After all, we're just humans and sometimes we need a little bit of a push - whether it's from music or something else. : )
