But anyway, the topic could also be called has music influenced the way you write. One day I had "Snow Falling on Cedars" going and I got the urge to write something I had wanted to write for a long time. When I was done with it I realized that it was one of the best things I had ever written, and I thank JNH's music for inspiring the darkness and texture of the piece.

Those that read it, what did you think?

Any other thoughts?

When I draw, like portrats and stuff, I always play music. Scores are my life. Man, good topic.

Hahaha, I even play scores when I take showers. Not going further than that though...
hhehehehe

I also write papers to music, I like doing that, gives be backgound noise.

but I play musik all the time...

I suggest you resist the urge to drive your car off a cliff.

Thin Red Line is a perfect example of music that helps click on the writing mechanism. A strange phenomenon for me, but critical none-the-less.

Unless I'm lying flat out on the bed (and yes, I HAVE fallen asleep even to the loudest scores), I'll only deign to put on music when I'm doing something essentially non-cerebral, like housework (once a week sweeping the debris under the carpet).

We already have a surfeit of noise wherever we go (in bars and cars: some day a real rain will come and wash all the scum from the streets), I don't feel any need to silence any glorious silence.
