Discussion: music. Do you need music on when you write? Do you prefer silence? Other background noise?

I usually have music on so it's not too much of a distraction for me and other background noise is okay as long as it isn't a TV because I tend to stop what I'm doing and watch. I can't work in silence at all because it makes me twitchy and I'm not sure why.

Even though I knew what my Yulefic Exchange assignment was going to be, I didn't know who it was for -- but now I have that info, and I can proceed with my planning and research. That's what's in store for today, after the housework and shopping are out of the way!

Music really helps me focus when I want to actually write words. I don't need it for planning/research/editing, but I don't seem to be able to get into the flow of writing without it. It has to be instrumental, no singing with words. I have a playlist that I play in a loop of music that I have found particularly conducive to writing.
