For more activating scenes I tend to need a bit of action going on around me, though.randi leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14207001299508931034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-91217099044426969392014-04-20T20:39:07.769-07:002014-04-20T20:39:07.769-07:00Yes, I enjoy working in silence.

"White noise" like the whooshing of traffic or a vacuum is okay but, like you, I find voices distracting.<br /><br />Madeline @ <a href="http://MadelineMora-Summonte.com/" rel="nofollow">The Shellshank Redemption</a><br />Minion, Capt.

A lot of distractions and I cannot get my humans to settle down. This means, I put on some headphones and listen to gentle music while I'm doing my pawsts.<br /><br />Pawsitive wishes,<br /><br />Penny, the friendly host of the Alphabark Challenge! :)klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-74269184560221093202014-04-19T14:50:22.311-07:002014-04-19T14:50:22.311-07:00I do like quiet but I usually have to settle for h...I do like quiet but I usually have to settle for headphones with music loud enough to block out my family.<br /><br />mood<br /><a href="http://moodywriting.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">Moody Writing</a> mooderinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01523337588830695638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-25008121287445144522014-04-19T13:52:26.541-07:002014-04-19T13:52:26.541-07:00I have a hard time writing when there is quiet and...I have a hard time writing when there is quiet and stillness! I do wear headphones, though, but people would think it was crazy if they realized I write while streaming TV shows. Often I'm only barely paying attention--it's just how I am. I was raised with the TV on all the time, so it works as some kind of stabilizing force...Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-5135737234091781932014-04-19T13:33:57.642-07:002014-04-19T13:33:57.642-07:00For writing, I can be anywhere.

As a composer, that's the only way I can hear the melodies in my head.
