Where do you get your best ideas? In the bath? By going on a
walk? Well for me they tend to come just when I am about the fall asleep so whenever
I get stuck with my writing I tend to take a nap. I might not necessarily
sleep, but for the hour that I lay there I let my brain roam free. Sometimes it
is just a swirly mess of thoughts and images but other times it will settle on
a dialogue, or a plot point.
As there is no typing involved you can imagine things in
real-time and see where the plot goes. Sometimes it will flow in one direction
and will get to a situation I don’t think is right and then I will back up a
bit to see if I can explore a different direction. Other times the idea will
just flow and I will be itching to get up and write down everything that has
just gone through my head. The best part of my method for me is that because I
have never typed my random thoughts down I don’t have that guilt over deleting
chapters when they don’t work.
And I even get my own personal bedtime story which is fun
when you are working through kinky scenes like the ones I wrote for my new
novel Tied to You.
