I hate dishes. The Muse hates dishes.

Anyway, so to answer your question: Music does everything for me. It inspires me to write, to live, to love, etc. It's the ultimate cure to everything. Music is my drug. So yeah, I like to listen to it when I read, write, eat, sleep, etc. :D Thanks for the post!

Most of the time it's after a fight with the husband. Probably not the healthiest motivation, LOL!<br /><br />P.S. Stop by my blog and pick up your award.

Just added to my iTunes. :)<br /><br />Music and nature are my number one motivators. As a former dancer, music was my energy...still is. If I have an intent in writing a scene, I'll already know the music needed for it. I also listen to nature's sounds, especially the rain. I have a compilation of storms. It's awesome.S.A.

My brain is forced to start composing in self-defense. And as soon as the ideas are flowing, I can run back to the laptop and let it all come out.<br /><br />Yes, that means there are a lot of half-weeded flower beds and half-clean bathrooms around the house!Dianne K.
