Hmm. I’ve been working on my noisy husband for 9 years now and he’s still noisy. :-) I’m the polar opposite, which makes it very difficult for me to write during the day even though I stay at home. I have 3 little kids that are clones of their Dad and they’re all very exuberant and outgoing… all day long.

I wouldn’t change my family’s personalities for anything, I love ‘em all the way they are…but I need absolute quiet to write and I can’t get enough of it!

I love silence, and I’ve actually been percolating an article on it for a week now. Not only have I always loved silence after all the screaming (if not throwing) arguments in my childhood home, but as a person with fibromyalgia, my nerves have been over-sensitized. Some people are so loud that my ear literally hurts (sorry, WriterDad) and for a while I thought I drew them to me, there were so many in my life. I’ve also been known to burn my tongue on coffee that someone else finds is just right in temperature. After riding home on the subway and the bus, with all the cell phones, by the time I get home I’m just dying for a little quiet.

That quote from Teddy is a classic, and I think everyone needs a bit of downtime everyday to rest their minds. But quiet is looking like its a really relative thing. From every part of my house I can hear my kids screaming and laughing so I decided to give up the quest for peace and just work on my laptop with them running around me :)

I don’t often feel the need for silence or noise, or anything of that nature. I find I am often left with lots of time to write or sit and relax…but I lack the inspiration to really get anything else out the door.

I have the time, perhaps if I had the right motivation, I would have a couple of books by now.

Marelisa@ Thank you. Yes, the taste is like ice cold water.

Urban Panther@ It’s funny, but when it comes to music, I’m actually the one that has to sneak and turn hers down.

Ellen@ Sigh. I already get up at 5:30.

Ribeezie@ Yeah, the quiet’s like topping your tank off.

Vered@ I have a feeling it’s going to be like large print. I’ll need it in larger measure the older I get.

I am a quiet person and I love – NEED quiet too. So I can relate.

Hey I hear ya! Sometimes, just sometimes, there’s nothing like some good ol’ quiet to bring you back and get you goin’…

Very funny writer dad.

I’m loud, too. But I also need quiet for LONG periods of time. Or else I get real bitchy.

Get up early and write your novel. That’s what I do with mine.

Oh, I am so like your wife on this one. I need 20 minutes of noise per day, and the rest lived in silence. It was a total culture shock moving to Quebec. The Quebecois are so exhuberent! (read noisy) The Urbane Lion isn't personally noisy, but he loves loud music. I keep turning it down when his back is turned. And attend a parent/child event? The parents make the kids look like they've taken a vow of silence! Urban Panthers last blog post..So, you want to online date
