Love it! And so true...
That's a great strip!! I try to use different music depending on the story I'm working on.
That's awesome! I sometimes listen to music while I write. Movie soundtracks are great for it.
Whee! I got quoted. :D
My iTunes playlists are catergorized by the mood of the scene I'm writing: Playful, suspense, joy, celebration, dramatic, elegant, battle, rush, etc.
:D That's why I never listen to writing music at all!
Great comic!! I've been listening to a lot of Nickelback lately so this hit home. Thanks for this touch of reality!

ahahahahahahahahahahahaa, this is my favorite comic. Nickelback is my favorite band!!!
Mmm, writing music. It's actually hard for me to get any work done without it. I wonder if that's why I've been so slow lately...
