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?

... music -- mostly instrumental, or at least with vocals in japanese or another language that I don't understand, so that it's just music -- and a LOT of uninterrupted time, at least for serious writing. TV would be completely counterproductive. If the TV is on, I am watching it. Even if I hate what is on, my eyes will return to the moving lights...ooo... pretty.

I don't need munchies, though a cup of water is necessary.
