Krishnaa Lakshmanan
Krishnaa Lakshmanan asked Jonathan Stroud:

When writing, how do you work? Do you have music on? Do you munch on something? Or do you prefer a nice sunlit garden to write in? As a writer, I'm curious! I for myself find music with lyrics to disturb with the rhythm a bit. Also I always tend to feel hungry when I sit down to write! Even now, I've gone some cashew nuts on the table (argh, there are ants now!)!

Jonathan Stroud No music for me. Like you, I prefer silence. I often chomp on fruit or biscuits. Nuts are good too! I tend to write indoors where I can control the environment. Sometimes I gaze out of the window wistfully - that's good enough.
