Writing Me

My writing habits may be very obscure to most people because of the conditions I put myself under. The first thing I always do when I'm about to start writing something is turn some kind of music on. Music helps me focus on anything for long periods of time. Because of my serious ADD and not being able to focus for a very long time, this seems to help a big amount. Also, depending on what I'm writing about, the kind of music changes for what mood I'm in. For example, during writing this I have on more of a heavier alternative rock type of music because it is pumping me up to write this as fast as I can so I can get my other homework done as well. However, when I'm writing serious papers and they have to be precise in grammar and the context and everything of the like, I like to listen to Beethoven and the classics from a long time ago. Despite being really good at focusing while listening to music, I cannot focus at all when hearing other people talk. This is why usually when I listen to music I have to have my ear buds in listening to it directly and nothing else. The best place for me to be doing this is actually when I'm out in public somewhere so I'm not distracted by the things in my room that would like to take priority over this. Examples would be TV, XBox, and food. Most people couldn't write while in public, but I just find it easier to do for some odd reason, especially if I'm outside because of the beautiful smells of the outdoors and the fresh air. Some people that have already heard of this obscurity of mine have told me how weird I am because of this way of writing, but I personally take being weird to be a good thing, especially when music is involved.
