I need quiet and solitude to work. Darkness is best. If I am wide awake, I can't write.

Life would certainly be easier if we all came equipped with our own personal FAQ lists. When we meet someone, we could pass them a business card with the list on the back, and then step back and let them read before we tried to talk.
