Date: 2023-11-19 02:18 am (UTC)I have ADHD, classic female type (tm), which means that it's easy for me to tune out the world and disappear into a fantasy (especially when I'm supposed to be paying attention to something else). I used to get a lot of fic writing done by bringing a notebook and a pen to the con suite, and let people jabber around me while I tuned them out and wrote. (It helps that people were usually discussing Sentinel or Supernatural or some other fandom I wasn't interested in.) I understand, however, that technique doesn't help you.
I also found it good to write when I was in my hotel room by myself, which usually happened for at least a little while even when I was (as is usually the case) sharing a room.
I've also been known to write - not on my work computer because I'm paranoid, but by hand, in notebooks - during slow times at work. I don't know if you ever get slow times at work, and I haven't had any recently, but I mention them just in case. Just carrying a notebook around with you in case you get ten or fifteen uninterrupted minutes can allow you to take advantage.
[ETA: I usually have time at home to write by myself, especially if TODS is listening to podcasts or reading or what-have-you, since he uses the den for that while my computer setup is in the bedroom. I tend to think of conventions as your natural habitat because that's where we usually see each other!]
I wish I had more and better suggestions. I feel for you!!! *hugs*
