It’s good to listen to music while writing.
Why?
Because when you’re writing emails, sales copy or any other kind of writing (like, for example, when I write about flesh eating zombies in the novel I’ve been slooooowly grinding away at) you want to be in an emotional state.
At least, I do.
You can, of course, do whatever you want.
Here’s the two kinds of music I dig lately:
1. Music with lots of saxophone
2. Music with lots of violin (especially movie scores)
So in my case, lots of jazz and orchestra type music.
Will this make your writing better?
Will I keep listening to this?
Does any of this matter?
No idea.
But, people ask about this from time to time.
And if you take it to heart, give it a shot, and put some on when you write… I do believe sax and violins will get ya every time…
Also, one more thing:
It helps to listen to epic sounding music.
Like movie scores, for example. Or inspirational music. Or, even better, the music your market listens to… so you have another “angle” into their psychology.
Okay that’s it for today.
Until next time:
Go thou here and write weak emails no more:
