Update: This is a repost. The entire post is up on TMA today, because of schedule changes.
Last Week I asked my Twitter and Facebook buddies was it weird for me to write fiction (well type on puter)with my eyes closed. I also play music that fits the mood of the scene I'm writing and before I write I think visually of the setting and how my character is working the room in that setting. Closing my eyes help me visualize the story. I become a recorder of a world I see clearer on the inside of me and feel in my heart.
I learned that many of my friends now know that I'm a wee bit weird, while I found that I was not alone. Lisa T. Bergren, author of The Betrayal closes her eyes and writes when she is in "The Zone." She even uses music to write her wonderfully written Christy Award nominated stories.
However, there was one response that stood out more than others"

Hey Dee,
It was interesting to read this post, because your "oddity" seems normal to me, but I guess that's because I'm a writer with similar habits. :)
I was working on a short story the other day that has a character who plays the trumpet. I had to stop what I was doing and search through my husband's endless jazz collection to find a jazz trumpet player, then listened to the different songs that I thought would reflect the mood of the piece I envisioned. Write on sista!
thanks, veronica.
i had a crush on a trumpet player in high school (wink)
