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.

A body in motion tends to stay in motion.
I will strive to keep my daily goals and not to get discouraged.
The hardest part is fighting against the curve balls that life throws at me, but if I refuse to let them divert me from the course I think I will look back ten years from now and agree that this was the best decade of my life.
