OH GOD NO!!! I can't even put enough exclamation marks behind that. Not ever. I need QUIET to write. And the best thing is when I'm alone at home and it's night, so I can be dead sure nothing and nobody will disturb me.

I am inspired to write by music very often, and I often use specific pieces of music to get me into the right mood for a story, and of course it's different music for different stories, but during the actual writing, it has to be turned off.

An example would be my hd_career_fair story All That Remains - I listened to Vanish and Melt Into Your Eyes by Faderhead for hours before I started writing, and during the 2 days in which it was written, I'd repeatedly put these two songs back on, but I always turned the music off again when I wanted to go on writing.

It's so interesting how different writers require different scenarios. When it's 100% quiet, it's distracting to me. I sometimes will have music AND a movie going while I write, and I write best during the morning/day. Funny that!
