I draw most of my inspiration from music, but I don't write while listening to it. I love my instrumental collections, orchestral, EDMs, Vanguard's trance, and so on, but I feel listening to them while writing is too distracting. Listening to music feels like processing a message to me, or understanding the meaning behind every beat and melody. For that, I need to be immersed, and I, or my brain, don't want to be disturbed by things that require brainpower like writing.
