I write in silence.

However, all the rest of the time when I'm researching and thinking about writing, I pump up the volume on heavy metal tunes from such bands like Blind Guardian, Sonata Arctica, and Nightwish. I also like movie soundtracks, and even the occasional movie to play in the background as I work. However, when it comes time to actually write, I write in silence and go someplace else and hammer away at the keyboard.

Also, I think this went unanswered for a while because it was posted here before there was a writing Q & A section. It probably wouldn't hurt for it to move down there, but until then it's fine where it's at.  😀
