Beats me why this works. Maybe my mind clears, I don’t know. I write scenes, plot an outline, what is going through my protag’s head, and major shifts in storyline direction. The spiral notebook follows me from treadmill to computer where I slap meat on the bones of the story.
Bing, bam, boom.
Sausage; sometimes ya don’t wanna know how it’s made. But with a family like mine, material presents itself. Hence the photo.
Btw, it’s kind of scary writing a love scene with Bad Romance rocking in the background.
Thank you for the kinds words on my post!! I loved this one! I get my best ideas riding a bus with Glee jammin in my ears!! Totally fell ya!!

ReplyDeleteooo, I think it sounds fantastic! :D Something about exercising... does the same for me. I think there's some science there, but who knows.
ReplyDeleteGood stuff~ :o)
Hey, neat blog! And are you starting another one?
ReplyDeleteI've totally written to Bad Romance before and others like it. Funny what works, eh? :) But I admit I've never tried writing while working out. I don't have a treadmill, so that might be difficult at this point, but I'm inspired nonetheless. Must try something. Maybe my outdoor running time could turn into a time to plot instead of one to relax the brain. I just know it's important to try new things.
It's nice to meet you!
LOL Whatever works. I admit love scenes with that selection is a tad strange. Maybe it's just me.

ReplyDeleteYep. Unicorn Bell is a crit group in its pupae stage.
I've composed the mission statement:
BE CIVIL
LOL, how do you like it?
I have to be out of the house. And yes, walking or running works wonders for my brain.
ReplyDeleteI use workout time for soaking in inspriation -- TV, music, nature (if I'm outdoors), etc. That's when the ideas come.
ReplyDeleteUsually my ideas come form me in the shower, or the other few times I don't have a small child yammering away at me.
ReplyDeleteI like the sausage comparison :)
