Do you listen to music when writing or do you prefer quiet? If you do listen to music when writing what/who do you listen to? I currently have the Hamilton soundtrack as my study and relax soundtrack.

A Goodreads user asked Roxane Gay:

Just wanted to let you know that your advice to write across race freely, but with credible effort, has emboldened me to make my novel a heck of a lot more diverse. (Previously all white female characters, now with people of Mexican, Indian, African American background). How did you get comfortable writing across race? Or were you ever uncomfortable?
