Many times before, I have been plagued with writer's block. It's happened to me as recent as last week, and each time it does occur, I always turn to music, where I never cease to find inspiration. Usually, slow tempo music is what relaxes me the most and tends to bring all different kinds of ideas to mind, and what I listen to really does dictate if what I'll write is good or not.

Music is something that has always offered me inspiration and comfort. Every time I feel as if I have no more words left in me to write or say, I turn to these songs and the words begin to come to mind, forming sentences then paragraphs, so on and so on. Then, I begin to write again.
