The music track hums smoothly in my mind, allowing me to wander deep in thought. There is an idea forming--silent, but then it crescendos....I grasp onto the idea, holding it firmly within my fist which has been pulled from the unconsciousness mind (I'm not quite awake, nor am I asleep). Music has inspired this idea...it has allowed me to create--to build another realm locked beneath the depths of my mind (alas, I have an idea!).
Usually when I begin my writing process, I turn on music. It really doesn't matter what genre of music it is; rather, depending on the genre, my ideas are different. I feel that with music, I can find the inner thoughts that are locked within the "vaults" of my mind. I meditate to seek out the idea(s)--until they become clear. I write. I write every idea that has been brought out during my session of meditation. I write until the tips of my fingers go numb or until my notebook is full or until my wrist gets tight. I write from the memories that I still remember, and from those memories, elaborate.
Music frees my mind and allows me to find the writer from deep within.
