In reply to Vivienne Hamilton. Me too, Vivienne. I'm sure it has to do with the lack of sensory bombardment. Our brains are finally free to roam!

In reply to Gulara. Thanks, Gulara! I too love the ideas I get when I take a walk. If only there were a way to record my thoughts . . . I will remember the ideas later, but you know how you think of the perfect turn of phrase when you're walking? Yea, that never makes it home!

ah yes, napping, sleeping, dreaming. These are all fodder for our books. Whenever I’m writing chapter summaries, I will think about what happens next as I drift off to sleep…

For me it’s going for a walk. As soon as I am out in nature, I get my next blog post or any other idea I’ve been working on. Thank you for this great post. I’m taking close notes for the family 🙂

In reply to Nadine Feldman. I love your technique of full immersion! I think that's a great way to understand the why and how and the rhythm of something. Keep us posted on your progress and good luck!

My current obsession these days is Hamilton. I saw the musical and am constantly playing the cast album. I read the book it was based on, and then I read the book about the making of the musical. I’m studying it closely, deconstructing it to learn as much as I can about how Hamilton was put together. It’s work, baby! Fortunately, my husband understands this about me.

I wish I could get better at napping, though…maybe if I put it in the job description, I’d do it more often!
