Words in the Water
One of the best ways to jump start my writing is to either take a shower or wash dishes. Most days there are words in the water. If there isn't water available, standing in front of a big paper shredder with stacks and stacks of documents to shred works well too.
In the shower this morning I had so much dialogue! Of course, then the tricky part is getting it all written down before it's forgotten.
Here's my dream: I have a big, deep whirlpool tub that I can sit in regularly with a handy digital recorder to capture all my water-inspired thoughts. Chocolates would be optional. Of course, in this fantasy I don't have to hold down a menial job and can devote all my time to writing.
It's good to have a dream. Until then, at least I have the shower.
