Music While You Write?

by Darcy Pattison

Do you listen to music while you write? I find that music with lyrics takes my mind off the words that I’m writing. Instead, I like soundtracks from movies. Something about that kind of soundtrack works. I think it’s because the music is echoing the narrative arc of the story. But I’m going to read and write, read and write all summer. I’m looking for something new to listen to–when I can listen and still think. Any suggestions on what I should try?
