When I was younger, I had to listen to music, with specific songs for each game and character. It all sync’d up accordingly. Nowadays, finding time to make a post has become the entire goal. (Reading keeps taking presidency in my hobby hierarchy!) By the time I find time, I forget about setting up my cozy writing environment. 

Every once in a while, I can escape to a coffee shop and get lost for a bit while writing a post.  The coffee shop plays music, but I wouldn’t say I really entertain the music in my mind as I write. 

Most recently, I have been enjoying the sound of silence. I think it started some years ago when my uncle took me out to lunch, and he didn’t play anything in his car. There was something serene and suspenseful about the event. So, in a way, maybe the lack of background noise is a bit more deliberate. ☺️
