I embrace silence—to the extent possible with a snoring dog at my feet—while writing. And yet, the mental movie pouring from my mind onto the page definitely has a soundtrack. This is why the protagonist and two other important characters in the current novel I’m working on have their own playlist. Sometimes I write with only the soft sounds of my surroundings to ground me in reality; other times, the whole room moves as music keeps the words flowing.
