a writing discovery

Under what condition do YOU write well?

I'm finding out that I work well when:
There are no children in the house.
There is no husband in the house.
I am not in the house, but am in a coffee shop.
If I must be in the house, that I am off the main computer.
If I must be in the house, I have the PDA hooked up to the folding portable keyboard on a large hardcover book (standing in for a portable desk), on my bed, with some classical music playing.
There are no children in the house.
And lastly, I am away from the internet hook-up on my desktop. Hence the importance of the PDA.

Da Vinci's Inquest

Brrrr.

Seriously disturbing episode. Just got through watching Da Vinci's Inquest - part one of a two parter where they're tracking down a serial killer/rapist - and it turns out that it's a husband/wife team. they don't show any of the actual violence they do on the girl, but it's all implied, and that was the worst. I'm still shaking.
