Cannot Write Without: Monica Valentinelli

Cannot Write Without, ,

The question in the lagoon this month: What’s the one thing you cannot write without?

Today’s Fabulous Friday the 13th answer comes from one of Alethea’s favorite authors and gamer grrls: Monica Valentinelli.

*********************

The one thing I feel I can’t write without is my noise-cancelling headphones.

When I wear them, my world suddenly shrinks and I feel more focused on what is in front of me. It doesn’t matter if I’m furiously typing on a keyboard or scribbling in a notebook, either. Being able to control peripheral noise has been one of the best things that ever happened to me.

It rocks!

  1. That’s great that those work for you, but I would be paranoid about missing something. Like someone yelling: “Fire!”
    Or fun gossip. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

  2. I’m telling you, I am so honored at all our fabulous guests this month who are sharing these really cool little tips about their writing/working world, and you, Monica, are no exception! Thank you so much for stopping by and telling us your secret. I have a song to dedicate to you … “Enjoy the Silence” by Depeche Mode. Fishy kisses!
