Do you guys write your stories while listening to music?

I wanna know if you guys listen to music while writing your story or do you find it distracting and if you listen to music what type of music do you listen to?

Nope, never. Not while I work on assignments, not during coding, none. Not even instrumentals. I have a short attention span and I get distracted easily without me knowing until I catch myself, which is really annoying. But others find it easy and they can do both at once (:

Yeah, I do! I’m a very music oriented person and I love listening to it! I have a very strange taste. I like anything by Queen, anything Metal/Heavy Metal, or classical music!

Yes!! I’m listening to music right now while coding lol. Sometimes I do zone out into the music because music is my safe space.

Yea, I do all the time, especially when coding. Honestly idk… I just listen to my weird random playlist, and also it mostly depends on my mood. :white_heart:

Yes! I do. It helps me with coding and also helps give me inspiration to my story. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Ocasionally but I also tend to watch TV shows that I’ve watched before so I can listen in the background and know what’s happening without needing to look up

Yea, but I always end up getting distracted lol. However, listening to white noise makes me focus better, and it’s really relaxing and not annoying after a while.

Yes, I listen to my very contrasting playlist that has two types of unrelated music, but strangely, both of those types of music inspired my story. Then, I pause my music when I’m ready to add Episode music into my story so that I can preview the scene and see what incidental music works best with the scene.

One day, I got so distracted by the music I ended up writing the song lyrics in the speechbubbles instead of the dialogues :new_moon_with_face:

I listen to music on a daily basis, I literally can’t function properly if don’t have my airpods with me. I generally listen to music when I code, while editing overlays, doing assignments or even just while I’m in my mom’s car. The music I listen to inspires a lot of what I’m writing, the song can erupt the purest & raw emotions of my characters. So it helps a great deal at least for me :relieved:
