SOMETIMES, WRITING IS best done in silence. Ok, most of the time. But now and again I like to listen to music when I’m editing or writing, headphones on, lost to the world. The synergy of the two can really help to bring something fresh to the table and makes a change from the daily grind. Check out Peer Kusiv’s music, something I turn to for atmosphere and drive. The guy is amazing with such a range of tempo and melodies. Snowflake is one of my favourites:
I'm from Scotland, where everyone owns a castle and pisses whisky. Some of the preceding sentence may contain factual errors.
I've been writing and reading for a long old time. I'm now trying to get into the published material side of things. I'm building up a bank of short story material and finding my legs in the long story side of things..
Hold on..I need shortbread..that's better..now where was I?
Like all good writers I have written a vast amount of stuff and like children's school meals large portions of it remain unfinished.
I write about all sorts, largely drawing my inspiration from real life events, futuristic musings and the dark recess of my mind. I say recess, it's the only recess, it's got to hold everything.
Enjoy the blog once it's up and running with material and please feel free to link me and share your work.

I often read or write with music in the background though I can’t say that I truly LISTEN to it.
Yeah 95% of the time I write to the sound of the keyboard being assaulted, but every once in awhile, I switch up, just depends on mood. Cheers for dropping by again!

Yeah same for me, it’s definitely a semi-conscious thing.
I like to write in silence, or at least edit in silence. I do find some nice classical music goes nicely with my thought process sometimes.
