It interests me, the people who can write in coffee shops and train stations and airports and other such public places. I can glean ideas from these places, jot down observations, take those kinds of notes that will eventually become a story but to be able to write fiction in such a place. Never.
The most noise I want to hear while writing, is sometimes only the dog snoring, as he is this afternoon, to my left. Sometimes I'm a little more open to distraction and I'll have music playing - classical with no voice to distract. And sometimes I go for the gusto and it's music with lyrics combined with the dog snores from - you guessed it, the left hand corner. It all depends on my
mood, how much noise I can tolerate.
Today, it's one of those dull days. You know the kind, a day when even the weather is dull. It feels like Sunday, which is the slow day of the week, when in actuality it's Saturday. It's a good day to get some work done amidst the quiet. Even the television cooperated with offering curling as a distraction to writing - not.
Are you one of those writers that finds their best work in a public place? Or do you seek quiet and solitude to get your best writing done?

I think I get more done writing at home, and sometimes with music.
ReplyDeleteI need a hum in the background. Nice to meet and connect through atozchallenge. http://aimingforapublishingdeal.blogspot.co.uk/
ReplyDeleteHi Julia and Charlotte - thanks for stopping by. Sounds like we might all agree, if you call a hum music, on sometimes music in the background.
