7. Do you listen to music while you write? What kind? Are there any songs you like to relate/apply to your characters?
I think I used to listen to music while I wrote a lot more than I do now-- while I always thought it was ~super cool~, I realized a little while ago that it didn't really do anything for my writing. Music definitely helps me focus while I'm doing math problems, or psych vocab, or something like that-- but while I'm reading or writing, it just kind of distracts me, and I wind up having to pause the song every so often to try and get my thoughts in order. My brain kind of fails multitasking forever. XD BUT. I do apply to a lot of music to my characters and/or fandom, and I tend to listen to it to give me inspiration and such for something I'm planning to write. Most of you have probably heard my fandom song associations, but Katelyn and Juliet have the most extensive soundtrack out of my original stories-- Recessional, which I kind of apply to a lot of things but I originally fell for because of them, So Close from the Enchanted soundtrack, and Avalanche by David Cook are among the songs I use for them.
Also, how the hell am I sixth in the class what. SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME, BECAUSE I AM PRETTY SURE IT IS NOT POSSIBLE.
