Music is very powerful, and helps me dig for deeper emotions when I'm crafting or fleshing out a scene.Julie Ortolonhttp://julieortolon.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090034241516458003.post-37710499082317142072012-03-28T20:05:16.745-05:002012-03-28T20:05:16.745-05:00Irene, sometimes I do find myself getting totally ...Irene, sometimes I do find myself getting totally into the song.

That's why I have to leave it off while I write. I find myself following the music instead of the scene in my head. I'm sure this says something terrible about my lack of concentration. It's a shame - I love the idea of a soundtrack for a book!Irene Prestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07121931758202412714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090034241516458003.post-21542079095314167342012-03-28T11:46:11.358-05:002012-03-28T11:46:11.358-05:00Thanks, Vonda!

I find that music often helps me focus on the emotion of a scene, or maybe music helps me feel the emotion more strongly so that I can then convey that to the reader. I also use various types of music from hard rock/ heavy metal to pop to Celtic new age. Also music specifically designed for concentration.
