Music While You Work

 Some people love to listen to music while they're writing. I'm one of them, at least during the first draft, when I want to feel closer to the action and with the mood or setting. I don't listen to songs, because I'd just sing along! 

I never listen to music when I'm editing. Being dyslexic, I need all my concentration to correct my own work. It's a slow process and I do appreciate someone running through the text with me. 

(The number of times my teachers used to show me a word and ask something like, 'Does that look as if it's spelt right?' - how would I know?)

So back to music. I have a very varied library, thanks to our family Apple Music subscription ( sorry about the plug). Right now, I'm loving the music written for Assassins Creed. Yes, the game! The music is very evocative of time and place and I have become a big fan. 

What music do you listen to when you're creating something?
