Do you write with distractions going on?

[FluffyGamma]

Everything all at once, and then when my attention gets drawn away I can ignore the golden underlines that grammarly so graciously provides my free to play ideals because I can't figure out why god damn quotations are being marked when I'm following grammar rules for proper English.

Phew. I had to get that out of my system...

Uh, acho que tenho uma das distrações mais estranhas na minha opinião porque escrevo enquanto perambulo pela minha casa, jogando o cenário específico na minha cabeça

OK, I laughed a lot at your comment. I have the habit of imagining scenes when I read, imagining you writing while walking is very funny

I usually write with something going on in the background. I dunno maybe I have the telly on or some music, sometimes my fiancé is playing video games or whatever. My entire life is a Weapon of Mass Distraction so I just get on with it.

Mainly, what songs I listen to is based what is the situation on a chapter, so it could help me metamorph on how it should feel. If it's emotional, then go for JP songs like Anata no Yoru ga Akeru Made or Song of Seventeen.
If it's energetic then any western pop is good.
If it's just chill, a song called Hare Hare Ya covered by Sou is amazing.

Sometimes, I just shuffle and hope landing on a perfect match with what's happening on the chapter.

Some songs help me experience a mood or hold on to it, so sometimes. I do, however, prefer silence

Depends on how bad my ADHD is that day. If it's not that bad then silence, if it's mild then I need music, if it's really bad then I need a podcast or something.

I've found I can only really write productively if its quiet. I've tried listening to music in the past and found it was a bit too distracting for me.

Even I can't believe it. Lots of noises, even a little bit in my surroundings, distracts me a lot. Sitting down while staring at your laptop's screen doesn't help either. But then I noticed that whenever I walk, I can think clearly and communicate with my inner self a lot better so why not just do it too but in your home? XD
