I need silence in order to write.

I wish I didn’t. I wish, like other writers, that I could have the radio on in the background or, at the very least, some instrumental music to inspire me. But, I can’t. I can’t have any music playing at all. It makes it impossible for me to think if I do.

The same goes for the TV. My office is far enough away from the living room for me not to be able to hear it and, if Arran’s playing computer games in his bedroom next door, I make him turn the volume down so that it doesn’t disturb me. Poor kid.

Right, I’m about to get back to work, so shhh! Keep it down!
