6 Tips for Selecting the Right Music for Writing and Get Yourself Inspired

If you are a writer, would you listen to some music when writing? If the answer is yes, then what kind of music you would pick up as the BGM for the story in your mind?
In fact, it is totally a preference, but so far as I am concerned, I do like feeding my speaker or earphone with some smooth sound. Recently when I am writing online fiction for a writing contest run by a site of a young online books provider, I realized the power inside the music. Some people might classify music as a distraction, nevertheless I by no means think it would divert my attention away from writing, or reading. On the contrary, hearing the right music could isolate you from the noise of the surrounding and create a relatedly tranquil atmosphere for you. Music will actually and gradually goes “silent” and dive into your subconsciousness by stealth, when you are completely absorbed by the story you are creating.

There are two key advantages for listening to music. One is relaxation, while the other is inspiration. The only precondition here is the right music. Here are some tips could be useful for you, as a writer.

Tip 1: Do not choose music or song with strong beat or fast tempo, even though you are writing a highly energetic, reckless or even rude popular teen fiction. But you can hear it to gain idea when you are not writing.

Tip 2: Try not to use a song with lyric, typically those you are too familiar with. When I once were writing a popular romance fiction, accompanying by a sweet love song, I cannot help humming it softy to myself so I was not able to concentrate on the letters on my screen. But we don’t give up songs with lovely voice. It is interesting to choose songs with a language you do not speak, so you can feel the passion inside with a unique way.

Tip 3: Select the genre according to the category of you are working on. For a writer working on a romantic fiction with a tint of pretty bourgeoisie, you could play the songs of Lisa Ono or Norah Jones.

Tip 4: Original soundtrack from movies or TV series are highly recommended too, especially the story you are telling come with the similar plot or characters in any respects. For instance, if you are writing a fantasy fiction, you can choose a soundtrack of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which generates a mysteric but pleasant environment for you. And，I bet you have read a great number of marvelous movies and TV series, so just choose one you are comfortable with.

Tip 5: Turn down the volume until you are going to ignore it. At this moment, you will get a well balance and make it goes into the air as natural as your own pulse.

Tip 6: Prepare a well arranged playlist. You don’t really want to interrupt yourself by the trouble of changing songs when you are about to get to the climax of your story, do you? You can add the music with similar genre to the list, but with a slight difference, so you will not get bored by the same pitch.

That’s what I do before each time I updated my own fiction on Ficfun.com. but you are always free to discover the right tone for your mood. By the way, are you developing on some wonderful online novels too? Then don’t hesitate to share themsss with readers and other writers, both your book, and your music of course.
