[stylist] What comes first?...response to response

[Angela fowler]

I agree with Judith. I don't even listen to my country music when I'm trying
to write, its too distracting! I work best when its quiet, and I can devote
my full attention to what I'm doing. Thank God 2-year-olds still take naps
LOL.  

Some people do work better with music on though. I guess its just a
personality thing.

Amy, From what I've been told King is not a person you would want to see
socially.  Heavy metal is a perfect fit for him.  My sympathies on the
headache.  I prefer thinking through an idea, putting it down on paper,
(whoops, on the screen) and then editting my fiasco.  That's the way it
looks after the first draft.  So far I've had pretty good luck with that
sequence.  Best, Judith
