Being a person that gets distracted easily, I need to be in a place of isolation and quiet. I don't have a place like that, though. :( I can’t write with distractions.

I'm still a teenager, so my room is really the only place I can go that my little brothers won't follow me and/or pester me! I also turn on a fan or music to further tune out the noise, and if I keep the same song on my iPod on repeat, then I end up tuning it out and completely focusing on my writing. I get in the zone, you know? ;) I sit against my dresser in my room and write longhand (or at least that’s what I’ll be doing till I can convince Dad to buy me a laptop!).

Seriously good post. I have considered alternative ideas to getting peace and quiet for some zen moments. The best one: cryogenically freezing my children and then thawing them out after that awesome 2 hours of productivity. Any pointers on getting my wife to sign up for that?

Plus, I enjoy the energy that a bookstore brings to the creative process, not to mention evesdropping on conversations helps cultivate dialogue for fictional characters. Anyway... At home, it's a small foldout table in our dining room which has a bookshelf and track lighting (talk about mood setters).
