7. Do you lis\u00adten to music while you write? What kind? Are there any songs you like to relate\/apply to your char\u00adac\u00adters?<\/b><\/p>\n

If writing is my favorite thing in the world (debatable anyway), then music is the “other thing”.  Ironically, used to be that I couldn’t write to any sort of noise in the background, music included.  Slowly I worked my way up to ~new age~ white noise\/elevator music, and now I can slam out a love scene set to Dethklok if that’s what it’s all come down to. (I wonder how I would write such a scene…perhaps I will try one day?)<\/p>\n

I do keep my background music pretty separated when I am writing, however.  If I’m working on Nagnomei<\/i>, odds are I’m listening to Euro-metal.  If I am working on CROSS\/\/<\/i>, I am probably listening to anything that’s not Euro-metal.  Atmospheres and moods and all that snazzy stuff.<\/p>\n

Theme wise, I have picked out songs that I could see being the themes for each book I’ve written, and I do put together make-shift soundtrack for them.  The really odd thing here, though, is that I rarely listen to them while I’m writing.  It’s more like what songs I imagine being ina movie\/series adaptation of each novel.  There are certain songs that have inspired certain scenes that I will put onto repeat while I am writing them, but otherwise, I’m not quite that limited.  In instances of writing, music is only background white noise for me to be amused with. <\/p>\n

For fun, here are the songs I consider to be the themes for the two drafts I am working on now:<\/p>\n
