For me, I get a lot done in my head while I'm driving. Which is a good thing, because I drive a lot. Probably a good reason to steer clear of me on the road, but I zone out a lot of the time and let my mind work through story problems.

I kick things around with my husband. He works in television so he always "sees" the scene. For sub-plot issues, I like to take a walk and think about whats going on in my neighborhood. We all have great imaginations, don't we? So those curtains that are always tied wierd two doors down, or the guy who comes home every night and unloads boxes, but who I never see loading boxes. He generates a lot of what-ifs for me. There's drug-grandma down the road. Sometimes the local news papers help, but…

He generates a lot of what-ifs for me. There's drug-grandma down the road. Sometimes the local news papers help, but often times they give me way too many ideas and I end up slipping another plot idea into the big file and not really working on my little problem. My vote is for the walk or the husband or a late breakfast with Jordan's husband.... ...or Gymkata.tag:crimespace.ning.com,2007-05-01:537324:Comment:300922007-05-01T13:39:16.800ZPaul Guyothttp://crimespace.ning.com/profile/PGuyot

Listening to music – the more eclectic the mix, the better. Eating large quantities of Bachman pretzels. Watching a movie you've already watched a thousand times before that never gets old, like Layer Cake or Heist. Or doing all three simultaneously. Amazing what the subconscious can do with just the right amount of rhythm, starch and visual stimulation.

I have never been able to walk around the block---ANY block---without encountering something or someone that kicks my brain into writer's mode. So WWJ (Writing While Jogging) works for me every time. I've solved plot problems, fleshed out character profiles, and written whole chapters this way, no lie. One trick, though: I have to leave the iPod at home.
