I hear you! It is something I remember learning when I was growing up from my parents and my Sunday School teacher.

Your mind will grow with what you feed it.

It took me a long time to figure out what they all meant by that, but, it became most apparent when I was a teenager. Although, at the time, I would never admit they were right. :)

I have repented.

It depends on what I am writing. If I am writing prose, I listen to flowing music that has highs and lows... but, mostly music stimulates my brain. It depends on which direction and what I am writing. Some days I sit in the chaos of my family and write.

And then, some days, it is pure quiet. Thanks for your thoughts on this! Great post!
