It's funny, but while music with lyrics always helps me get in the right mood for a particular type of story, I have an easier time writing with instrumental music playing. Sometimes I can do music with lyrics, but most of the time, it slows me down. I do like to have theme songs that get me in the right mode for certain characters, though. Often, I'll have a song that I'll play before I sit down to work on a longer story that takes multiple days to write. It helps me find the right mood/voice. For my NaNo novel, it was Halsey's "Tradition". For Galatea, it was a Billie Eilish song called "everything i wanted". For my recent Screams story Escape, it was Digital Daggers "The Devil Within".

No, the empty screen has never been a hurdle for me. What I struggle with is continuing an existing work! It's much easier to start from scratch... Which explains why I have so many incomplete manuscripts haha. I'm tired of looking at them so I figure I'll do something about it. Does anyone else have a similar issue?
What have I to show except
The promises I never kept?
I lie here shaking on this bed
Under the weight of my regrets
