Goodreads asked Echo Miller:

How do you get inspired to write?

Echo Miller Music. I use it to force myself into the necessary emotional state. Before I start, I crank up the jam and move around a lot. Because I'm about to become glued to a chair for hours and hours.

Quirky fact: When I'm writing, the music has to be instrumental. Vocals in the background are Super distracting. Sometimes I put on music that might be called "new age," "spa," or "trance" but that's to make it so I don't become too sensitive to noise. Too much quiet for too long can make going back into the world extra stressful. When I'm proofreading, vocals are fine.

When I was younger I couldn't study with music on. Certain types of thinking work the language centers of my brain at full capacity.
