IIRC, the protagonist of Margaret Atwood's Lady Oracle wrote entire books that way. I think she thought she was channelling them from somewhere else, but I could be wrong about that. In any case, I hope you can touch-type too.
Lack of distracting sensory input, I think. I can see the words a lot better if I'm not staring at them on the page. Which sounds altogether dumb, but it's true. For fiction, where I'm visualizing a scene, that's doubly true. I also end up vaguely acting out bits from fiction as a write it. I'll sort of mimic movements when I'm figuring out how to describe them. With my eyes closed.

I do some of the same stuff when I'm writing. You just explained it a lot better than I could.
