When writing...

[iSimba]

I need to be in a uncomfortable position with things I have to get done distracting me. It gives me urgency that helps.

I can write almost anywhere, at any time, as long as I'm inspired to. Having Internet access can distract me if I'm not super-inspired, though, so sometimes I go to the university library café and sit there. Since I'm not a student there, I haven't got access to their Internet. If I'm in a place with a lot of people talking, I sometimes listen to my iPod so I won't inadvertently start eavesdropping and forget what I'm doing. If I'm at home, I usually write in silence, though I occasionally put together playlists for some stories (my Nemesis playlist is made up of the Placebo songs the chapters are named for).

t I'm in my rattiest, and therefore most comfortable clothes

 

you are so correct!

 

I like a mix of "themed" music depending on the story and weirdly, old episodes of Wire in the Blood. Robson Green has a very relaxing voice. and no, i don't write about murder or the police, so it makes no logical sense.

Personally, I work the best with headphones in so that I can drown out my husband because he always chooses the times that I am trying to write to ask be the most annoying questions.  If I am by myself I just turn on the music on my computer and just ignore everything else.
