Does White Noise / Ambient Sound Actually Help Your Writing? – Steve Boseley

Come see if you agree with “Does White Noise Ambient Sound Actually Help Your Writing”

Sue Vincent's Daily Echo

Reblogged from Steve Boseley:

Silence can be a distraction. Quiet Please sign

Bear with me whilst I qualify that statement. When I’m writing, silence can be a distraction.

It might be a cliche, but writers and coffee shops go together like James T kirk and Doctor Spock, Harry Potter and Quiditch, Psycho and shower curtains. Ever wondered why that may be the case?

YOU KNOW MY HEART

~ thereluctantpoet

By Charles Robert Lindholm

She Heard Me
Reaching Out To Her
With The Words
I Whispered
Softly Each Night

She Saw Me
Trying With My Actions
To Show Her My Love
And Yet
She Never Knew
Or Understood
The Real Me

And Looking Back
I Doubt She Really
Wanted To Know
The Real Me
And Doesn’t
Miss Me
Now That She’s Gone

And Yet
From Half Way
Around The World
You Know Me

You Know My Heart
And My Soul
From What They Shared
With The Universe

Their Whispers
Reach Your Heart
Without A Word
From Me

And You Know Me
In Ways That
Still Amaze Me
And Bring Me
Sweet Bliss
