How John Erickson writes is nearly how I write.
Above all, it must be quiet.
I do have the internet on my computer though.
Fine. Ok. And my cell phone.
I never said I was perfect.
Screening out the noise of popular culture is an important part of my preparation as an author. I do my writing in a small office near my home, and we might describe it as a “sensory-deprived environment.” It has no television, radio, CD player, telephone, or internet access, not even a magazine or newspaper. I have no mirror or pictures on the walls.
