A question for my fellow writers.

As I take a break from the tedious task of converting Classic Traveller UWPs to GURPS Traveller info strings for the project I'm working on, this occurred to me.

I can't write without noise. I need music, the TV, something around me or I can't write a word. I also need munchies and a Coke.

So how do you other writers work? What environment do you require?

I write mostly for myself and the group I game with. I find that I'm the most productive if I have headphones on and am listening to music I can 'zone out' to.
The best album for me is Floodland by Sisters of Mercy. Put it on repeat, and away I go. I've caught myself rocking back and forth in time to it when I'm writing. I guess I autotrance to it. Seems to work.
