    When I have homework. Some are completely the opposite, preferring to write rather than doing homework, but I feel like it's nagging at me. I also can't write if I'm pressed for time and I know I can't finish that chapter/one-shot. Especially if I have the inspiration; I just keep thinking 'you're going to forget it, you're going to forget it'. I need time!

    Once I start writing, I get all in the "unstoppable" mode, you know?
    :tehe:

    But, most of the time I'm listening to music as I write, for inspiration and whatnot.
    And sometimes, the music will come to an epic spot that makes me really have to do a little dance session, and then I go right back to writing.
    Ha, ha.

    When I listen to music when I write it's usually the songs that have inspired the story, so sometimes I get distracted and try and add to my playlist, and then I end up sitting going through my entire iPod trying to think of other songs that could be related to the story and I forget about actually writing it. :XD

    The internet. I can deal with the TV. I write best when a hockey or baseball game is on. Or Ghost Hunters. The radio doesn't bother me either. But if I'm on a computer with the internet...I can't write. I'll be going on Graham Crackers to look at comics I don't have money for or DeviantArt or Facebook. I'll be lurking thread on here. I sometimes unplug the internet so I can write.

    almost everything, right now i haven't been about to write in a month in a half because they are renovating my room!!! :evil: downstairs i have my folks walking by, tv on, talking, i can't concentrate in order to remedy this i need to be in a small room with my computer, and music to set in the mood or to set in the mood of the scene that i may be writing. Sometimes i have to lose myself within the music and idk how but ideas just emerge out that. The one thing i hate about writing is when i am just writing like MAD ideas just pour out and i'm trying to write them as fast as i can UNTIL "take out the trash andy" or "hey, what are you doing?" getting disturbed verbally just ruins it for me. Oh and of course a very comfy chair :D

    Anything can distract me. Recently, it's been the redoing my room. My room is done now, but I then read a book, which of course I couldn't put down.
    School, siblings. Anything at all can distract me--unless I'm on a roll, and then NOTHING can distract me. At all.

    Mibba can't distract me, fortunately, because I do all my writing on a laptop and we don't have wireless :XD This means that the only things that can distract me are the view outside the window and the music I'm listening to (usually only if it's novel to me and I'm still all :brightside: over awesome parts). Like right now, I'm listening to The Real Slim Shady by Eminem, which I only ever listen to when it comes on shuffle, and I'm finding it really difficult to write this because I feel the need to listen to it properly :tehe:
    Oh and my hair. I swear I need to tie my hair back while writing. I'll hit a block and just sit back for a second while I figure out what to write next, and I'll see a split end or something and end up sitting there for about ten minutes snapping hairs until my laptop overheats (which it would have done anyway) and starts screaming at me.

    Everything distracts me. I usually need to be doing at least two things at once so I'll either be listening to music, talking to someone, or watching a movie/TV so eventually I'll get distracted.
