Okay I know the saying is “absence makes the heart grow fonder.”, but in the case of my blogging journey, this isn’t the case.
Lately, I’ve been reading a lot of blogs that talk about how boring and tedious writing a blog post is or has become .
There’s many reasons why but some of the reasons might be content, or lack there of, or you just don’t feel like writing a post and you need a break.
I’m one of those really rare bloggers who enjoy what I do and sharing my thoughts and all the places I go with all of you.
What’s my method to not getting bored by writing blog posts?
No, it’s not by writing posts when a game is on.
The Sports Diva would NEVER get a post done if I was watching a sporting event.
I’d be too busy yelling at the referees and players to concentrate on writing a post.
That’s where music comes in.
It can play a big or small part in writing your blog.
You can be listening to some soothing music as you’re writing a post about the sunsets in Hawaii or on Santorini , it’s up to you.
What you consider soothing music, might not be soothing music to another blogger.
You might even want it very quiet as you write or think about your post.
Personally , I hate a quiet room when I write a blog, but that’s just me.
I like music blaring all over the place.
The louder, the better.
No, not Heavy Metal music for me, that’s a little too loud for me .
I like it loud, but I’m crazy like that.
Or maybe I’ve been in too many sports arenas where it is very loud.
This is some of the music that makes writing my blog posts less tedious or even not at all.
You might not be surprised at some of my choices , but then again, yes you might.

Not the music you expected from the Sports Diva , right?
I actually get my creative juices flowing with these songs believe it or not.
What about you?
Do you listen to music while you’re writing your blog posts?
If you do, just what songs or type of music do you listen to, if any?
Drop me a line in the comments section, and as usual, thank you for liking and following 30 Plus Teams , 30 Plus Dreams .
I wish I could listen to music while I write (or read) because if it’s a song I love and know the words to, I’ll get distracted, start singing, and lose my train of thought. If I happen to be listening to music while writing, it has to be something without words. So, classical or beats are pretty much the only things I can listening to while writing. 😂

That’s okay . Some people like it a little quiet when they do their blog posts. I sing too and start dancing. I have an idea of what I want to say, so if I mess up, I can just edit it.

Sometimes music helps, and sometimes it’s just distracting. Depends on the level of concentration I need. It definitely can set the mood. And that mood will seep into the words on the screen.

I’m not good at writing with anything on to distract me, but music definitely helps in a lot of other circumstances!

Would you believe I can write my ass off when a Drake or Maroon 5 song is on, but when the Yankees are on or any kind of sporting event is on, I lose my concentration ? Wicked crazy right?

I have never listened to music when I am blogging. I work in silence, generally, there is no one here and I just write away. I will try writing with some music on and see how it goes. An experiment. I might have been missing out on something. Thanks for your post.

Hi Jo Ann,
I find it interesting to read about how other people work; in silence or with noise.
I usually have the TV on all the time. I can’t work in silence. I have an inner ear problem and the TV noise distracts me from the ringing in my ear. I have also written with music on and for the same reason.
My choice of music is either gospel or country & western music and sometimes I’ll revert back to the 70s rock.
