Have you ever tried going to the gym without music? It has happened to me a few times, unfortunately, where I have gotten all the way to the gym only to realize that I had forgotten my headphones. The same is true when it comes time to exercise. There are few things in this world that are better than sitting down with a glass of wine, some ambient music playing, and a story to write. Whether I am writing for work or for pleasure, the right song or album can make both the words and the time fly. To me, silence and writer’s block are nearly inseparable. With a little bit of mood music, the words just flow from my brain to my hands. When I’m writing, for instance, I find much more success with music playing in the background. Nearly all of my daily activities, in fact, have a soundtrack of some sort that make them more enjoyable. However, even all of my other hobbies involve music in some way or another. Well, along with downloading torrents, writing, and exercise, that is. I don’t know about you, but for me, personally, music is nearly my whole life. A world without music is certainly not one that I would want to live in.
