Music

For me, music is an essential part of writing. When doing an action scene, a emotional scene, or just about any kind, music playing in the background can push you foward and motivate you to write more and more, adding depth and feel.

For example, when writing Six Friends, and New Equestria, I was listening to "Rhinestone Eyes", by Gorillaz. Now, while writing another series fiction, I'm listening to the film version of "Combat Drop", by Harry Rabinowitz. Music can give you a feel for your own situations and atmospheres, something that is vital when writing. I just wanted to share this with you, as I started writing my first major story a few years ago after listening to "Like Toy Soldiers" By Eminem. Music can be very insperational, and I highly suggest you listen and write.
