I can't write to music, but I do a lot of planning on my commute -- I'll be listening to music, and a song -- it could be any song -- will just fit the mood.
For my Australian middle grade boarding school novel, that's mostly dreamy Australian alt-pop. Not what my characters would be listening to -- judging by the schoolkids I eavesdrop on, they'd be into Taylor Swift, Beyonce, and at least one should have a lot of opinions about Hamilton -- but music that fits the setting of a school in a small town on the Surf Coast.
