On a side note, since I know you're a writer, I can't listen to music while I write like many of my author friends. I get why they do—lose themselves in a world separated from the real one. But I can't 'cause inevitably I start listening to the music and analyze it or think about how I would do something differently. Plus I can't hear the rhythm of the language on my page. Do you listen while writing?
