I can think better now without any of the music seeping into my story at times and giving me the wrong vibe for the wrong time. <br /><br />Interesting piece and write on!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883235275007051023.post-55671628112071837122010-07-19T21:59:16.422-04:002010-07-19T21:59:16.422-04:00Thanks for sharing everyone!

Maybe comes from being a teacher and preferring to have the kids working in groups and partners.

If they add lyrics, the words mess with the words I'm trying to write. The style of music generally depends on the character/theme I'm writing about.<br /><br /><a href="http://mesmerix.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Scribbler to Scribe</a>Stephanie Loréehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03512485557711771802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883235275007051023.post-26439094206256177342010-07-19T09:22:24.140-04:002010-07-19T09:22:24.140-04:00Silence for creating, music for low-level editing....Silence for creating, music for low-level editing.
