Silence

I love double-crostic puzzles. All-Star Puzzles has wonderful interactive crostics twice a week, and the other day [Spoiler!] the quote turned out to be:

Accustomed to the veneer of noise, to the shibboleths of promotion, public relations, and market research, society is suspicious of those who value silence. —John Lahr

Silence, blessed silence! I’m deep in edits of The Second Duchess and I am indeed valuing silence and solitude. I know some people write to music, but I’m not even comfortable with that. Just sweet, sweet silence…

    Oh, I’m the same way. I mostly use music as a way to block more distracting noise — and I much prefer silence! Which is weird, considering how much I love music. I think that it just takes away too much of my focus, because I really want to listen to music when it’s on.
