not science BUT, smeyer basically did that with twilight. i’m pretty sure every book has at least some mention of the music she found/listened to while writing them, either in the dedication or the afterword.

that series is actually really interesting as an insight into a new author getting a feel for her craft while also blowing the fuck up in popularity.

And then you realize you’re reading soft core mormon porn.

James Acaster, I think?

Are you trying to remember the comedian this joke is from? If so, it’s John Mulaney in The Top Part

Huh, you’re absolutely right. Wonder why I thought it was an Acaster thing.

Some fiction authors do this, and it is a fairly popular thing among fans

i can’t listen to anything when writing heady stuff or else i get a bad headache. even background sounds in a cafe will cause me pain. so my playlist would be empty and i would definitely get rejected for bad vibes

“Academic Brown Noise, 10 hours, no mid-roll” is my #1 jam.

Parts of my thesis were definitely written with “Goodbye Horses” on loop (you know from that one scene in Silence of the Lambs). Not sure what that says about my vibes in grad school.

ah, no i’d rather not be written off as mentally unstable when people read that i in fact looped a 1min 30s track for many, many hours :)

I thought I was the only one. My top track has 800 plays since a few months ago. Song changes cause me to lose focus, and looping guides my mind into flow.

A friend of mine does the same too, i just learned
