But she's a lot of fun.<br /><br />And Cleo, I often use music to refocus, or to unfocus when I get too tied up in what I'm writing to remember to relate the details from my brain. I agree, it's an excellent ferry.Karlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01567180201885657281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-23283175787689444632011-07-05T18:48:34.864-06:002011-07-05T18:48:34.864-06:00Cleo -- I agree that music really helps me zone in...Cleo -- I agree that music really helps me zone in on writing.Terry Odellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610682530545306687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-46737485731318315642011-07-05T15:17:25.331-06:002011-07-05T15:17:25.331-06:00Karla – Nice post.

I have a suggestion for you (and anyone else out there) when the day job (in my case, the day’s responsibilities, issues, worries, and chores) disrupt the creative process. Try music. Soundtracks, ambient, techno, classical…whatever works for you. <br /><br />I always have a thousand and one things on my mind in the course of my day (and before writing full time was possible for me, I had a day job, too). The right music always helps ferry me from the "day world" to my fictional world. Cheers and good luck with your new idea. It sounds like you're on fire with it!<br /><br />~ CleoCleo Coylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15557517506340986862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-40409992106843327972011-07-05T11:27:33.831-06:002011-07-05T11:27:33.831-06:00I love that you've got a friend to brainstorm ...I love that you've got a friend to brainstorm with!
