@Joncperson Quiet please. Or anything below the perpetual cicada shrill of my tinnitus. Country sounds. Distant traffic. But not speech or music, or I will give those 100% focus instead. It’s not a question of distraction. It’s more that that’s how I do something wholeheartedly. Unless it’s a mere technical activity, while I write creatively my senses seem to extend way beyond my body and I’ll feel it physically if anything jars me.
