8137 words, nine days until deadline, and I've had to reduce my writing playlist for this particular story to three songs -- though it could be worse, I've written some things to the backing of a SINGLE song.

In case you're curious, the current songs are:

* Vienna Teng - Eric's Song
* The Mountain Goats - Autoclave
* The Lion King (Broadway) - They Live In You

Do other people write like this? Do you have a general playlist that suits your writing style? (I do.) Do you build new playlists for particular fics? (I do.) Do you sometimes end up writing to just one song on constant repeat? (*looks balefully at Turn Your Sail and 'Up Is Down'*) Are there one or two songs that will always help you past a block?

Oh, I find the lyrics get in and start replacing the words if I'm not careful, mostly because I don't actually listen to music very much - I generally just use it as a barrier to shut out ambient and inconsistent noise from elsewhere so I don't get distracted. Boring, I know, and not very artsy. Then again, you've read what I write. "Artsy" probably doesn't deign to go near it. ;)
