I can’t work when it’s too quiet. I think that comes from my 18 years in big-box retail. I need crying babies, ringing telephones, walls full of TVs, and overhead speakers in order to get anything done. Since I don’t have that in front of my laptop, (and really, I must be thankful) I listen to a lot of music.<\/p>\n
When I wrote Wyoming Solace I listened to a lot of ’90s country. Garth Brooks, Clint Black and even Alabama. I don’t know if the book took me to that place, or if the music took me there to write the book. shrug<\/em><\/p>\n Writing Preja Vu, I listened to a lot of HipHop. Flo-Rida, Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Black Eyed Peas, etc.<\/p>\n Recently I’ve been putting my entire collection of tunes on “shuffle” and I get a surprise every 4 minutes. \ud83d\ude42 I get Keith Urban followed by Josh Groban, Eminem after that, then Pink Floyd to round out my all-encompassing musical tastes. Gotta love Rhapsody and\/or iTunes!<\/p>\n It’s not crying babies or pissy produce purchasers, but it’s a living!<\/p>\n\n
