I also find that perfect time between asleep and awake to be a great idea place...but sometimes I fall completely asleep before I can write them down. :confused: The shower is definitly a place where ideas grow!

My best ideas come to me in the shower, or when I'm walking or riding my exercise bike. Like Sasha, I also find just-falling-asleep and just-waking-up to be very helpful thinking times, too. At these times ideas just seem to come out of nowhere. I am a subconscious writer... my subconscious does most of the work :laugh:. Interesting, Sylvia.

Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.sylviaday.com/blog/2004/09/01/85/#comment-176 I find if I haven't been on the treadmill in a couple of days, my creativity is down. It's also the only place where I can blast the music to my heart's content...so I'd have to say it's combo of music and excercize that get my stories flowing, since I play out the scenes in my mind to the music, like I'm writing a script. But, when I do the actual writing, I can't listen to music because I tend to daydream. :hehe: I find if I haven’t been on the treadmill in a couple of days, my creativity is down.
