Do you listen to music to enhance your creativity?

I personally find that when I've found the right music for the moment it's easier to get into a good flow. I try to match the music I listen to with what I'm writing at the moment - fast paced music for action sequences etc. Instrumental music works best, but sometimes music with lyrics is the only thing that will do it.

Do you also take help from music in this way? What do you usually listen to?

I definitely do. I do the exact thing that you do. :) I usually listen to instrumental music from movie soundtracks. I like songs that seem to tell stories without words.

Oops, another thought -

...because then I can add words to the story that I am already hearing in the music. :) The one that forms in my mind when I listen.
