Perhaps it's because I can't multi task.<br /><br />I'm with you MysDawg - need total quiet for writing but editing is a different matter. Can do that almost anywhere.<br /><br />Horse for courses, Nattie. Interesting how it's only certain noise you can tolerate though. Thanks for dropping in.<br /><br />Hi Leigh. Necessity is often what dictates your writing environment. If I'm falling behind I often find myself catching up on public transport but it's not ideal for me.<br /><br />Thanks, anonymous. Are you a man?<br /><br />Hi, Michelle. Sounds like you're also selective about background sound. A lot of writers don't have the luxury of a perfect environment all the time so it's good that you can adapt.Richard Jay Parkerhttp://www.richardjayparker.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2444069458422024208.post-16234391974968327692010-11-07T10:28:24.347-08:002010-11-07T10:28:24.347-08:00I like to think I can write pretty much anywhere, ...I like to think I can write pretty much anywhere, and actually prefer a little background noise (but not gossipy women sitting right next to you in a coffee shop!). My favourite conditions are at home with some gentle classical / jazzy music bumbling away in the background. I did go on an Arvon course once, which was a little like those 'writing holidays' you describe, a countryside setting and it was actually very inspirational.Michellehttp://winningwords.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2444069458422024208.post-84816855797558335192010-11-07T10:19:18.147-08:002010-11-07T10:19:18.147-08:00I am easily distracted by music,screaming,televisi...I am easily distracted by music,screaming,television etc.If I'm alone and can be in the own recesses of my own solitude,I may spark creativity.I'm with you!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2444069458422024208.post-48735001091589964942010-11-06T15:47:51.558-07:002010-11-06T15:47:51.558-07:00My time is so limited, I frequently have to ignore...My time is so limited, I frequently have to ignore my external environment and write whenever I can wherever I am.

When I studied for a Management Degree with the OU, I sat in Starbucks reading my books and making all the relevant notes, etc. If I'm doing my day-job, I need noise - I listen to my ipod or have TV on in the background, even if work is manic! I've tried working in the quiet and it just drives me mad. Give me noise any day, but it has to be my selected noise, not anyone elses ok!Nattie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14487261357327839105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2444069458422024208.post-37374747420832346772010-11-05T11:32:31.208-07:002010-11-05T11:32:31.208-07:00I need quiet.
