A question for my fellow writers.

[gridlore]

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'm the opposite: no distractions if possible. I can work with noise around me, but not as well.

I also need to be in good shape. Nothing on my mind, not feeling sick or tired. I write crap when I'm not feeling good, so I've learned not to.

The worst distraction for me, as far as getting writing (or anything else) done, is a net connection.

Hmm, I *must* have a net connection. I do whacks of research when I write, and it'd take forever if I had to use books (hack, ptui) for it. I google and wikipedia all day when pulling something together.
