The Bloggers With The Most To Say
Do you listen to music when you blog?
Often when I sit down to write out a post I go into itunes and put on some music. Often it gets me into a better mood for writing. Does anybody else do this? and what kinds of music do you find yourself listening to when you write?

I generally don't because I get really into the music and lose my train of thought. I used to listen to music when writing papers for college though but that was usually just to drown out the other people in the library.

I am EXACTLY the same! I love listening to music but usually when I'm blogging I have something very specific in my head that I want to get out and music just distracts me and I wander on to other thoughts.

I don't listen to just music, but I do like having something on, whether it be tv, radio, music, whatever. I don't do well sitting in silence.

Sometimes I want to write, but I need a little something to get me started. This is where personal music mixes come in quite handy.

I do.
It depends on the kind of post I'm working on- if it's a fiction piece for TS (which, to be fair, I haven't done a piece for in months... oops.) I tend to listen to something more mellow that allows me to hear myself. If it's an angrier piece, it's something louder. If it's just some random bit of creative non-fiction, it's whatever comes up on my player.

No, I perfer it quiet when I write because my thoughts be everywhere as it is. I would just get distracted too easily. Maybe if I was doing a venting post I would need some rock music.

No, because I end up accidentally inserting song lyrics into what I'm writing. Just happens.

I sure do. Usually the title of the post is the song I was listening to at the time.
My blog is called "Good News For People Who Love Bad News," so yeah...music plays a pretty big part.

I always need some kind of background noise, if my room is silent I literally start twitching.

Usually only instrumental music, because otherwise, the lyrics will contaminate my typing and I'll get distracted or put words I hear and focus on into the post... really weird to edit.

I don't usually, but it's not a bad idea! I used to listen to music when I was studying and it seemed to help. But sometimes I get into the music too much and just want to rock out ;)

I listen to music almost always. I just need to have background noise. The tempo of the music varies with my exhaustion levels. Mid-day its mellow, Iron & Wine, The Dodos. Around 3am if I'm still working on stuff (blogging, work, whatever) it switches to really loud, upbeat stuff - more Matt & Kim. It also gets more repetitive. I'll listen to the same thing on repeat foreverandever.
