For me it does. I can't write with pure silence. My question for you guys is that, does this help you? I've been wondering this for a little while.

Alle, an Investigative producer is a really 'nitch' field. I know of only two people who do what I do. You have to have the ability to watch a killer story develop after an investigation comes togethe...

Did you watch THE MISSING?
Mary I don't think I did at the time.
The Missing
To those who can watch , don't miss a great BBC TV series that started this week http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04n9mtk
Have you watched all eight episodes, Rui? What's your assessment?
Film Reviews. Just trying something new.
With not much work coming my way, I started a blog about movies to keep my writting skills from getting rusty. If there is any lesser known movies you think I should check out, please let me know. New or old I'll check 'em out. Mockfilmsblog.blogspot.com
Lantana is great. Pandaemonium also. The Secret in Their Eyes.
Characters with Manic-Depression
Thanks for the look. Doing research. What's the craziest movie you've seen on characters suffering with Manic-Depression?

The Machinist comes to mind Shawn. Christian Bale gives a great performance, Frazer

Have worked as a residential Therapist with bi-polar clients, and one thing for you to decide is what kind of loop your character has ~ As Kathryn illustrates, some people cycle very swiftly while others take months.

I think MR. JONES (Richard Gere) was about manic depression.
Happy Holidays, Shari and Mary! Thanks so much.

As a lifetime of being a Jazz music enthusiast, I have a huge selection of awesome tunes to fit my mood and soundtrack for whatever I am writing.

Yes, there are times it helps me get into the flow of things. Sometimes it's going with the opposite of what I'm writing. I was writing a serious drama and was listening to really up beat rock and roll music to help me from getting to down from the horror the characters were living.
Music most definitely helps me. Sometimes I have to make sure that I have music playing BEFORE I start so I'm eased into the right headspace, otherwise I get distracted by whatever shiny thing happens to catch my attention. #adhdwriting
All the time. Illustration when I have been location scouting via Luxury film homes on my Stage 32 Wall, the music in each video not only motivates me but gives me story ideas.
Sometimes I will have music on, but when it's hair metal or a song I really love, it totally distracts me because then I feel like getting up to dance.
