I’ve tried it a few times, mostly when the words just didn’t come. A soft lullaby or a jazz riff can feel like a second narrator, pushing the scene forward, but it’s tricky—sometimes the melody lags behind the story or pulls it in a direction I didn’t intend. I usually end up listening to the music and letting the words settle around it, like a quiet conversation, rather than forcing the plot to dance to a tune.

Thanks, that feels right—music as a gentle nudge, not a command. I’ll keep listening and see where the words naturally settle, trusting the rhythm to keep me in the moment. Your vibe hits home.

Thanks! I’ll keep the music in the background and let the story find its own beat. Happy writing to you too.
