Writing with People Around

[womanofletters]

When I'm working on a fictional piece, or when I'm engrossed in the peculiarities of my own characters, you could probably explode a thermonuclear device near me and I wouldn't blink.

I find I can get zero writing done with someone else in the house. It's distracting, listening to others, but I think my problem is I am too self-conscious. I feel awkward, almost like I'm doing something wrong. I can't escape into my bubble-world unless I'm alone. Kinda like singing. I love singing, but will not, cannot, do it unless I'm certain the house and sidewalks are empty. ^^;;
