This Is Actually So Interesting - Tumblr Posts

wait actually this is so interesting because I HAVE to listen to words while writing. if it's ambience or instrumentals i end up thinking about other things that aren't related to my story and literally zone out.

also the lyrics really help whenever i write. like if it's about self doubt and it's like ie. a taylor swift soft (castles crumbling) where it's like i would just let you down it really hits while writing. also the lyrics help me get in the zone instead of out of it, and i play it on loop so much that it actually gets desensitized lmao.

so WOAH this is actually a really interesting perspective !!

have you ever written set to music

oh gosh no. I get tagged in all these writing playlist games and I never know what to say. Music while I am writing gives me sensory overload. I can't think and I get irritable. Which is weird because I am fine with ambient chatter like writing in a busy café (though I still prefer completely silence). Maybe it has something to do with patterned noise being harder for my brain to tune out.

thanks for the ask, anon<3
