ambient stuff just drifts through your head like morning mist and blots out the TV and other annoyances without in any way impinging on the conscious, writing bit of my brain. If anything, it seems to be enhancing the writing

actually, it does. it's a bit like Jim's whitenoise generators, except that it helps the brain to "switch off" the (usually dominant) left side of the brain that is analytical and fact oreinted and allows the "creative" right side of the brain to come to the fore. there's a rather good explanation of this in a book called Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. it's all about drawing and art, but the effect is the same for any creative endeavour.

good luck with the writing :)
