15. Interesting article.

Here's the

link: 
What do you do to stimulate unconscious thought for your writing?

Some things that I do:

collect props that remind me of my character.  I put them on the window sill in front of my desk before I start writing.
find a word that captures the main emotional arc or drive of the book
music (right now, I'm listening to a lot of Mozart and odd jazz!)
Walk.  Look around.  Use what I see to help stimulate a sticky chapter/scene.

I have four quiet days before the crazy month of August begins.

Which leads me to a second question:

Do you know of any great restaurants in St Louis?

16. BRAIN DOODLES

My second book is knocking on my brain and the only way to deal with it is to write as much as I can in between the ridiculous jobs I have and other tasks that are pulling me in a zillion directions. (Alas - I do believe this is called "life" and I accept the challenge with a smile )

That said - this BOOK TWO is taking many forms - and one of my brains (for I have many) is drawn to drawing. I find I am making headway in my journey through little doodles that keep popping into this brain and then appearing on paper.

It's quite fun actually - and I marvel at the connection of mind/subconscious to the writing process. It's fascinating what happens when the brain store closes and all the employees go home. Ideas...snippets...sounds....and PICTURES.

Though posting is hard these days - I hope to keep sharing doodles as I write on!
