Hey All. I just thought it might be fun for others out there who have certain habits that get them in the "writing mode" to let us know what they are. Do you have any quirks or rituals that it seems you can't write without?
For me, tea is a big one. I find myself drinking tea all day while I write... when my glass runs dry my ideas seem to dry up too. I also listen to music constantly while I write. Perhaps my weirdest one is the game Minesweeper. Whenever I get stuck in my writing, I open Minesweeper on the computer, play a round or two while I collect my thoughts, then close it out and get back to work.
What do you do that gets you in that creative mood?
