Maybe you’ve never listened to instrumental music before, or maybe it’s one of those types of melody’s that seems to bore you.
You could possibly be someone who resonates with me and understands why I say that instrumental music is important when writing.
Whatever the case may be, music has the tendency to immerse yourself in the setting of your novel.
Calming music, such as instrumental…can provide your mind with calm, peaceful, clarity.
In fact, music greatly impacts your mind when you listen to music that relates to the novel that you are writing about.
If you are writing about a specific genre, try listening to music of the sort. An example would be if you are writing a steamy love story that takes place in Spain, try listening to Spanish guitar.
It helps our creativity process when we set the mood in the atmosphere around us.
Instrumental music for me when writing, really has a way of blocking out all other noises in my mind. It puts my mind in a serene state so that I am able to think clearly and let the words flow.
One of my favorite instrumentalist to listen to is by the artist Dappy Keys. You can find his beautiful work on Youtube. I enjoy turning a video of his on, lighting a candle and let the words begin to flow.
