Are You Ready to Write?



Whether it's a blizzard or a peaceful resort, it's always important to be prepared. Always carry a pen and notebook. I mean it! No matter where you are you should have them handy. When I'm on a road trip, I come up with new ideas of things to write about. Recently, my daughter and I were on a trip and we were listening to some cd's. Flo Rida has a cd called ROOTS, while listening to it I was able to come up with lots of ideas for a YA WIP I'm working on. Thankfully, I had my daughter to jot down notes as I drove.
Do you always have pen and paper ready? Do certain types of music inspire you? Do certain seasons inspire you? What makes you pull out that notebook?

  2. I never had my own first apartment. I've been married since I was 20. I'm really pleased that I set up a blog without anyone's help. This is mine, not ours. :)

  3. Beautiful pictures. I'm inspired mostly by great literature and music. Those get my creative juices flowing.

    And, of course I will follow! But, the friend widget on my blog is malfunctioning right now. I can't figure it out. My follower list is not showing up ...I'll work on it.

  4. I have a mini tape recorder that I keep in the car. For some reason, I often get ideas while driving.

  5. I find that my best ideas come while I am driving alone. I don't keep a pen and paper but I do text the outline to myself via email and finish it later.

    Beautiful pictures!

  6. Amy, I used to carry my tape recorder when I walked. I recently transfered all the information on it to the computer. I have two stories outlined on it.

    Team Russi, great idea! Can I share that one? Thanks for the compliment on the pictures. I love taking photos, to the point of annoying my husband and daughter. Thanks for reading my blog.
