It seems to work out well that way!Peggy Eddlemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10241451940725996650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1229593956344206286.post-60654019568331329842011-11-21T15:00:04.849-05:002011-11-21T15:00:04.849-05:00I definitely write better if I'm alone, but I&...I definitely write better if I'm alone, but I'm getting better at tuning things out. Headphones and music help, as does knowing the other person is busy concentrating on something else. If I feel like they're hovering around, or looking over my shoulder, my concentration breaks and can be hard to get back.<br /><br />I've also had some very successful runs of 'writing out'. Last spring, my daughter took a class at a college. I had to drive her there, then I'd go have a coffee and wait for the class to end. I got a lot done. The change of venue and tools (pen and paper) were good for me.JeffOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07947660745120963286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1229593956344206286.post-76477952189770713992011-11-21T11:05:45.775-05:002011-11-21T11:05:45.775-05:00I would love a quiet house.. but I write with two ...I would love a quiet house.. but I write with two little boys around me, doing what boys do, running, playing, fighting, tugging at me for snuggles or snacks.... it's a zoo in here.<br /><br />I can't write at night, my brain is in shutdown mode by 8 pm. <br />I write as soon as we get up in the morning, which is usually by 6 am, and then sometimes after lunch for a bit.<br /><br />but I always have a hot beverage with me, always.. coffee if it's before noon, hot tea if after.Cristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15064636500827230911noreply@blogger.com
