For the Spirit books(Native American romance) I listened to Native American music. For the book set in a Mayan dig I listened to Mayan music. For my westerns I listen to bluegrass, for the contemporary westerns I listed to country music.Paty Jagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03257614436422105729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975156172068685702.post-56708731771669512982012-05-14T15:09:11.811-05:002012-05-14T15:09:11.811-05:00Hi Anna thanks for having me on your blog, a big h...Hi Anna thanks for having me on your blog, a big hello from downunder.

Phantom of the Opera music always stirs my muse and gets my characters jabbering when they turn quiet.<br /><br />Then there is always any Gerard Butler movie that never fails to keep my thoughts creating great heroes. ;)Paisley Kirkpatrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06401039126457210324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975156172068685702.post-62786457856170876632012-05-14T10:10:23.698-05:002012-05-14T10:10:23.698-05:00I always listen to music when I write.

Not classical I know, but it's great stuff to get your groove on when you need to let go.<br /><br />Also hammered dulcimer music is a fave.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975156172068685702.post-39437067928664534302012-05-14T10:03:56.713-05:002012-05-14T10:03:56.713-05:00Hi, Suzan.

I listen to music sometimes, but since I haven't written in months, maybe I should give it a try and see if it helps kick the muse in the backside.Anna Kathryn Lanierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10607469543348819190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975156172068685702.post-91312187522545540142012-05-14T10:01:24.779-05:002012-05-14T10:01:24.779-05:00I always write to classical music, but I listen to...I always write to classical music, but I listen to Ella Fitzgerald and others or Carole King and others when I'm doing email and promotion. I subscribe to Pandora online radio, and often the artists on the Ella Fitzgerald station includes Dinah Washington. According to those who've researched such things, listening to music while writing adds rhythm to your writing. Don't know if that's true, but it certainly helps me.Caroline Clemmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14914658854159456335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975156172068685702.post-90373447116646144072012-05-14T06:49:11.969-05:002012-05-14T06:49:11.969-05:00I always write to music.
