I never write better (eh, faster) than when I can sit outdoors in the shade of our cottage. That makes me feel happy, and usually I reach my goal twice as fast as when I sit in the living-room. (Could that have something to do with the TV, the chatty daughters and the husband do you think?) ;)Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4538744000429800248.post-56119039301458380182011-06-27T19:49:00.028-07:002011-06-27T19:49:00.028-07:00I'm always looking, listening, learning to fin...I'm always looking, listening, learning to find out what's going to happen with my writing. Asking is another amazing tool to have. I relish the chance to talk to another writer, see what they are working on, throw ideas back and forth and see what comes out of that.<br /><br />If none of that works, I'll allow myself to write badly, and see where I end up!Dean K Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846624912452227191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4538744000429800248.post-73007575706566013802011-06-27T09:11:29.969-07:002011-06-27T09:11:29.969-07:00Terry; Reading outside our genre is a wonderful re...Terry; Reading outside our genre is a wonderful resource, isn't it?<br /><br />Alan; Have you ever wondered what other people think when they see you?

Agatha Christie said that the best time to plan a story is when you're doing the dishes, and she had a point. As for me, I let my mind explore ideas while I'm driving if I'm alone in my car. The changing scenery gets my mind going, and the automaticity of driving sets my mind free, if you get my meaning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4538744000429800248.post-49025033777947240932011-06-27T06:31:23.249-07:002011-06-27T06:31:23.249-07:00I sometimes get an idea out in public, perhaps in ...I sometimes get an idea out in public, perhaps in a mall.
