Also I go waqlking a lot sometimes in malls and stuff. Then you can walk and think and not worry about accidentally straying across the road. Happened to me once, I was walking across the road, and this incredible story idea just popped up. So I stopped and started thinking about it. Being hit by a car was an interesting experience. It's like living a life in "slow rewind" mode -- everything goes backwards but slowly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-1142306693036176102006-03-14T11:24:00.000+08:002006-03-14T11:24:00.000+08:00starlight - dan brown uses gravity boots - just lo...starlight - dan brown uses gravity boots - just love that!<BR/><BR/>glenda, eternal wanderer - scalding coffee by the gallon? i understand completely why balzac died of caffiene poisoning ... my favourite writer's tipple is green tea with toasted rice ... it reminds me of the nanowrimo stint a couple of years ago<BR/><BR/>i know a lot of people need music when they write ... oscar hijuelos says that he played the same piece over and over as he wrote mambo kings ... but i find it a distraction and heaven knows i'm distractable enough already<BR/><BR/>yvonne - not off topic at all - a great way to start writing by focusing on those who are really important to you <BR/><BR/>eternal wanderer - i love scented candles too ... <BR/><BR/>walker - me kinky? okay then you've found me out!bibliobibulihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456636355933524132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-1142263127423920262006-03-13T23:18:00.000+08:002006-03-13T23:18:00.000+08:00Writers come out with all sorts of peculiar and ou...Writers come out with all sorts of peculiar and out of the ordinary ways to overcome that treacherous enemy of writers - the writer's block.<BR/><BR/>I have a whole range of arsenal in my armoury to combat this formidable foe. <BR/><BR/>One involves cups and cups of blistering hot coffee. Nothing like a few cuppa to "heat" up the mind. <BR/><BR/>Another involves looking into space for long periods of time...till creative idea storms into my mind. <BR/><BR/>Yet another involves me lighting vanilla scented candles in my writing room (also my bedroom).<BR/><BR/>The writer's weapons ranges from person to person but all with a common goal, to triumph over the "block" and it's ally - the white page!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-1142260815006149772006-03-13T22:40:00.000+08:002006-03-13T22:40:00.000+08:00Hie Sharon!

Knowing that they are eager to read what you write and are amazed by the fact that you write, is the biggest encouragement to write even in the most uncomfortable conditons.<BR/><BR/>Hehe...

About music, I guess Vikram Seth has mentioned about the impact of music on his writing. <BR/><BR/>Many people love having tea/coffe and ciggies while writing.
