Della B asked Jen Lyon:

Hi Jen, I am curious if you listen to music while you write? If yes do you set a definite playlist for each novel you write? Congratulations on the US win in the She Believes tourny. Too bad our women on blades came from behind and won 4 games straight to win the Rivalry Cup 😱. Sorry, not sorry. 😉

Jen Lyon Hi Della!

Thanks for asking! I don't listen to music while I write, because my brain refuses to focus. I actually have to have it completely silent, and built a soundproof office just for that purpose. I envy writers who are able to jam out with a playlist while they scribble. I can't even edit with background noise.


I do, however, listen to music while I muck horse stalls (my primary time I use for thinking and plotting lol). I create playlists for each book and listen to it over and over while I decide what to do next. Songs like "Put a Little Love on Me," "Slow Dance," "Slow Hands," "Insomnia," and "Love Me Like You Do" are some of the top songs that come to mind when I was writing Book One of TSW.


That Rivalry Series win was innnnsane! Kudos to CAN! I won't lie, I love as many of your footballers as I do our own. Jessie Fleming is going to be a GOAT, no doubt. What a bright career she has ahead of her. And I really feel Huitema is going to hit her stride for us at OL Reign this year. Was thrilled when we snagged her up. Your whole team is aces. And I LOVE Bev Priestman.


Cheers again to your outstanding win this week!
