My Writing Process

My writing process is very flexible. I can write in my room, in class, or at work. I prefer to be at home though. I usually sit in my bed with my laptop in front of me and I usually have something going on through YouTube which plays through my headset. I like music while I write, it helps me not get distracted. Classical music is the easiest to write with but sometimes I mix it up with music from the 60's (The best music of all time). I don't usually eat when I'm writing so I won't get my laptop dirty or greasy. I usually have something to drink nearby, most of the time sweet tea. For some strange reason I prefer to have my fan on while I write. If I'm not on YouTube, I'll just have my T.V on. Some random comedy most of the time such as Pineapple Express or South Park. But I can never under any circumstances have on Beavis and Butthead while trying to write. It is hands down the easiest way for me to get distracted and I try to stray away from it when I'm even thinking about writing.  I typically write late at night sometimes early into the morning. Somewhere around 12:30 AM to 4 AM. I find this the easiest time to write. I think it is because everyone in my house is asleep and the neighborhood is quiet except for the occasional police siren (Well, more than occasional we do live in Memphis after all). My tool for writing is the Pages program on a Macbook Pro laptop. Before Pages and Mac I used a windows computer and Microsoft Word, but I definitely prefer Pages and the Mac. I think would reason I like it more is because the keys on the keyboard are backlit. Pretty far out. I don't have any specific way of writing my essays. I basically just write what comes to mind for the first draft then I edit and revise until I get the rough draft finalized into what I originally wanted/needed.
