Background Noise
A few months ago, I asked you what music you listen to when you write. Lately, I’ve been watching TV and movies while I write rather than listening to music. I’ll pull out the music when I need to create a specific mood (last week I was writing a bar scene, so I drove the dogs crazy with industrial and techno), but I’m all about the words in the background.
Gilmore Girls is my favorite. The clever writing elevates my diction and helps spur me on to hit my word count goals. 30 Rock is also good. Friends is always a winner, because I know it so well that it can completely fade to the background.
I was raised on TV, so I think that is why I fall back on it when I’m writing. Plus, I gotta watch my shows, but I also gotta write. There’s nothing like a little multi-tasking to keep me sane.
