I always have something on, especially when I am creating. I ahve two children, dog and husband that love to deliberatly search my out when I am writing...LIKE RIGHT NOW...I listen to celtic sounds...Enya mostly, instrumental pieces with a lot of wind intruments, and have been into a bit louder pieces such as Evanescence, Seether and Creed. I save music and have used some of the same ones for over 10 years. If I am looking to create a mood for a character, I use certain music to help me channel emotions. I seem to be the oddball in the group but hey I wear the badge proudly!!
