Mowing the lawn is my favourite time to think of stories. Easy, repetitive work allows your mind to wander freely while the easy manual labor keeps you from getting bored and thinking about your life.

I work in manufacturing where I press "go" and the machines do the real work. I spend all day in ny head and the realm of my fantasy novel series. When I get a new idea, I jot down a brief note. After a whole day, I generally fill a page. Then at night or another time, I flesh out the ideas and record them into my writing app. It's been a great process and time saver.

[@InkwellMedia]

Very cool! All the best with your fantasy novel.

[@cassinhacarvalho5015]

Thanks for your important video. I've 63. All my life I've reading books and thougt about write novels. I've a lot ideas. Let'z go ahead!

[@nguyenvubui1258]

Good for u mate. I and many would like to hear some update about your work at some day.

[@IndianOutlaw1870]

Walking works, though I hadn't considered it a "strategy" until now. I get some of my best ideas while walking an enormous manufacturing building at my workplace on weekends when it is empty.

[@JaneNewAuthor]

The human mind is a creature of habit. If you write at the same time every day, when you sit down to write you will always be able to. The only catch is you don't get to take the weekends off!

[@InkwellMedia]

Very true!

What kind of typewriter is that in the "intro photo"?
