Totally needed to hear this today. <br /><br />Music: I have found that I can work with lyrics I understand in the background --but they must be completely familliar to me. So familiar, that they are evocative and not distracting. It's weird - but in the middle of a project, I'll often find that my "tone" soundtrack songs have lost their "oomph" and it is now time to get new soundtrack songs. What I have to do then is audition and thoroughly familiarize myself to the songs/lyrics before writing to them (usually I do this while driving. Not writing, familiarizing). It works for me. I actually have three different CDs of BULLET music. Believe it. <br /><br />Can't wait till we get together!<br /><br />ps: i was only allowed to study to mozart and beethoven. To this day if I'm having trouble concentrating, I pop a little Amadeus and I'm covered. <br /><br />pss: For my period-piece-play, I have burned out completely on my cds. Ugh. Last time I worked on it I ended up online at some jukebox sites - listened to JAZZ VAMPIRE umpteen times in a row.

I read an article once that said listening to chopin's nocturnes would improve rhythm and such when writing poetry. I tried it, and I loved how it made me feel! Haven't done that in a while. Thanks for the reminder. And good luck with your revision!Irene Lathamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04905936104127707762noreply@blogger.com
