Have you ever been listening to some of your favorite tunes, or Pandora radio, or something similar, and arrived upon a web site only to have some cheesy music blaring over top of your own playlist?
In an attempt to stop the madness, you try to find some sort of “mute” or “stop the music” button on the offending web site, only to realize that you are going to have to listen to the background music, even though you have no desire to.
Your impression of this offending web site is now negative, just because of the music.
I just got to thinking a bit, and I realized that when I’m writing stuff for web sites I usually am not listening to music.
Why is that? I think it maybe comes down to concentration.
I suppose that, when writing, I am in a concentration type of mode, trying to put words on the screen in a coherent manner.
Okay, so that’s good I guess. Now I’m gonna switch it up.
I’m going to intentionally make sure that I’m listening to music when I’m writing for web sites from here on out. I’m thinking that it might interject a different type of creativity into the process.
For example, I decided to push play on the Demanufacture album for this round of writing. Really loud too.
Good stuff, that’s a lot of double kick bass.
Look what happens, I just end up writing about music instead.
