I find, like most people, it help to be listening to music. But unlike most, I find it also helps me write better when I'm cold and chewing gum. Although I can do without the gum.
before I write it helps me to go out for a walk with a good playlist of music, and then when it comes down to writing it's better I do it in complete silence and alone. If I do have any music on it's probably Asfandyar Khan. I like being able to see outside my window.
you laugh like a banshee gesticulate your delirium
I only know that learning to believe in the power of my own words has been the most freeing experience of my life. It has brought me the most light. And isn't that what a poem is? A lantern glowing in the dark. — Elizabeth Acevedo, The Poet X
