Sometimes I get distracted, but the music in the movie really helps me picture what's happening in my book. And I totally agree that music is a great way to get excited about writing. You can just see it all happening when you listen to music :) .Becki Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14421459879883678878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-89861070477930139872011-10-20T12:59:35.952-05:002011-10-20T12:59:35.952-05:00@Rachelle, I have seen Tangled so many times I cou...@Rachelle, I have seen Tangled so many times I could quote it from start to finish. :) And that's including the songs...lol. :)Clarebearhttp://www.unitedinhislove.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-88953081572422501482011-10-20T12:21:46.222-05:002011-10-20T12:21:46.222-05:00Coolio, Stephanie!

To echo some others,...Coolio, Stephanie! What fun!<br /><br />To echo some others, I enjoy sparking creativity through talking about my writing with others and watching great movies. (Anyone else fallen in love with Tangled? AWESOME movie!) Also, reading a great book makes me want to dive into my own. Lastly, music. So many scene ideas come to me when listening to classical piano and movie themes. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06150136011032761640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-91653079903583160122011-10-20T09:53:23.582-05:002011-10-20T09:53:23.582-05:00Micah, you mentioned FanFiction.

How wonderful to have people in your life who can reignite your excitement. And Bottega was amazing. I had amazing gnocchi that involved all kinds of funky veggies. Including pickled radish :)<br /><br />Emii, I asked that too! Apparently they're really common on vineyards. They're Swiss army vehicles called Pinzgauers. It seemed like something you might use for an African safari, and it was a ton of fun. A lot of vineyards pretty them up, but the one we rode in was straight out of the 1970s.Stephanie Morrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13128389560727867719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-45470696097012973022011-10-19T19:53:22.519-05:002011-10-19T19:53:22.519-05:00I feel more creative and inspired when I watch a m...I feel more creative and inspired when I watch a movie.

I love doing on site research and just soaking up the feeling of my inspiration. <br />There are a few things that help me when I am feeling creatively dry. One, talk to my sisters because they have some amazing ideas and spark new ones of my own. They help me get re-excited for me WIP. :) Another thing that helps me is to watch a movie, or read books that are similar to what I'm working on in my book. I try to glean whatever information I get out of them. :) <br /><br />Btw, I love love love the looks of that cool restaurant you went to. Totally fabulous. And with a cool name like Bottega, it's gotta have good food right? ;)Clarebearhttp://www.unitedinhislove.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-15890500983836797732011-10-19T15:48:58.858-05:002011-10-19T15:48:58.858-05:00Wow, that is SO cool!

I write fanfiction about things I love. Also, last time I had a sort of creative dry spell, I took a road trip with my family, and didn't write for a few days, besides jotting notes down with a pencil, which, for me, is not a fun way to write. When I came back after taking that break, I found I could write again :)<br /><br />MicahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-65219146925581030572011-10-19T12:03:46.834-05:002011-10-19T12:03:46.834-05:00wow! that sounds so cool! i'd love to do a res...wow! that sounds so cool! i'd love to do a research trip someday!Abbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02672728633816467884noreply@blogger.com
