If you've got the right music...

writing is much simpler.  It's interesting to me how classical music, jazz and electronica music can fire certain types of synapses of the brain.  There are a few tracks that I know can give me creative traction when I'm stuck.  It really is amazing-- the power and energy of music to stoke the flames of a creative heart...

This is so true. I have a "study music" playlist and there are certain songs I will turn to when I want to write something driving and quick and certain songs that I turn to when I am looking for something descriptive and slower. I have found myself writing along in one tone and then notice that the tone has shifted and the only reason I can find is a different song is coming through my headphones.
