Toolbox: Preparation / Inspiration

  • Bring your lightning rod in case lightning strikes! (always have at least a pen on hand at all times!)
  • If you don't have paper, maybe you have a napkin, a place-mat, a receipt... anything you can get your thoughts onto (and take with you when you leave).
  • Unwire! disconnect from your appliances (iPod, internet, cell phone) so you can connect with the world.
  • Play music
  • Zone out
  • Meditate
  • Walk around
  • People watch!
  • Look at pictures / watch tv
  • READ READ READ READ READ READ!
  • Change. If one place you're writing isn't doing it, switch seats, or go somewhere else all together. Switch from inside to outside, switch from writing one story, to taking a break to write something else, or to read... Keep your mind fresh.
  • Above all else, DON'T WAIT FOR INSPIRATION TO HIT, JUST WRITE!
