Maria asked Effie Calvin:

Is there any particular habit that you have while you're writing? Such as a type of music that you listen to or time of day makes you the most inspired?

Effie Calvin I like to listen to music to get ideas or inspiration, but I usually write in silence because I tend to get distracted by the music, though I'm good at tuning out background noise if I need to. One thing is, I find I work best when my surrounding environment is clean and tidy. I can have trouble focusing if I'm in the middle of a mess. I don't have a time of day where I'm most productive, though if I get started early in the morning I find it easier to keep up momentum throughout the day.
