Part 6/7:
Creating an optimal writing environment is another pillar of King's method. He insists on a distraction-free zone where phones, TVs, and the internet are turned off. His workspace includes only a glass of water and a cup of tea to stay hydrated, fostering an atmosphere conducive to focus and creativity.
While silence is important in his workspace, King enjoys listening to heavy metal music when he rewrites. The key is consistency—playing the same music on a loop to avoid distraction. For those who may not share King’s taste in music, he recommends high-energy tracks that elevate concentration and productivity.
