Write Every Day: 05 November 02019

[silveradept]

Greetings! This is the Write Every Day Check-In Post for 5 November 02019.

I've been doing a lot of listening to music while composing things. At least, where I can - it's hard to do at work, because work is a place that values each person being able to choose what soundtrack they would like for their lives. At home, there's only so much background noise that the people living here can take before they have to have it quiet as well. Thus, headphones are my friends, especially when I want to sink into composition. Or marathon gaming sessions. Both of these things are possible. Depending on which day it is, only one of them might get done, but they're both always possible.

So, here's my question for you. Are you a music (or background noise) while composing person? If so, what's your go-to material? If not, is there something else that you really would like to have when you sit down to write? Let me know about it in the comments.

Today, in writing, I made significant progress on an assignment, having decided on a general shape of things. I have no idea how far it's going to go, or where it's going to end up, but I've at least got a first scene to work with, and that will be enough to keep things going until we reach the end of a scene. Or a work. Could be either. We'll see what happens, yeah?

I did at least 1667!

Sometimes noise, sometimes no. Depends on how much I need to focus, whether I need a mood evoked, and whether I need background noise to soak up excess attention so something else doesn't distract me. I have some well-tuned Pandora stations for many different circumstances.

Sounds like a well-tuned solution. Yay for at least the NaNoAverage.
