What would we do if we couldn't write???<br /><br />Helen: Yes, I love my news but I can't stand just sitting watching it. Happy writing..:)<br /><br />Terry: Great idea about the period music. I've read that if you're writing a ghost story to do it at night in a dim room with ghostly music playing. I totally get that.

I often like quiet but I also listen to music from the time period I'm writing (early 60's) for some inspiration. <br /><br />I have to check out Spunk:)Terry Stonecrophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03726985400500572770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-32674062926268883682010-09-03T05:55:30.191+10:002010-09-03T05:55:30.191+10:00I'm with you on the white noise thing, I find ...I'm with you on the white noise thing, I find having the news on a loop in the background really helpful.

I like to write in the privacy of my office (It used to be my hubby's and I took over) ;) If I lack inspiration, I play my CDs (either classical or flamenco guitar does the trick for me). I usually don't get any treats. If I get up to eat, I use it as my break but I usually sit at my desk with no food. I love writing!Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217417326857522438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-81437549897740178552010-09-03T05:09:13.814+10:002010-09-03T05:09:13.814+10:00Congrats on the award.

My writing ...Congrats on the award. Well deserved.<br /><br />My writing habits are simple: comment only on what I read and write what I feel. If I write what I feel I get tunnel vision, a bomb could go off and I'd still be sitting there typing away :D<br /><a href="http://fragilemouse.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Jules @ Trying To Get Over The Rainbow</a>Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136045025997662057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-23107812042068172492010-09-03T02:17:40.015+10:002010-09-03T02:17:40.015+10:00Hi,

My favourite spots to write are: kitchen because it has a snug corner and handy when watching out for cooking etc/ also upper floor sitting room with veranda overlooking east garden.<br />2. Blog/e-mail first thing, get writing as soon as, check e-mail lunchtime, get writing again afternoon/evening between domestic necessary chores.<br />3. Listening to classical music or complete blissful silence!<br />4. Constant pauses to make cups of tea, but that's good for the figure in not sitting too long.<br />5. Keep writing new project/revise previous but one project in tandem when time allows.<br />6. Frequently stop to walk the dog, also good for the figure. ;)<br /><br />I will pass on the award just got to think who!<br /><br /><br />best<br />FFrancine Howarthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02326542867876257042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-64503831173956834092010-09-03T01:20:30.255+10:002010-09-03T01:20:30.255+10:00Congrats on the award!

I read once where Toni Morrison said she ties a bandana tightly around her head (brain) and it definitely helped her write better - switching on again.
