I mostly do my best thinking in the shower. It's the only time during the day that's mine. All mine. I get almost giddy to get in the shower in the morning and at night after the gym. Irish- I LOVED Blue Eyed Devil! Reading books only gets me in the mode to read more. I try to avoid reading while writing. I love reading what does it for everyone! We're all so different. It was a great day! Ter- I'm the same way. If it's someone actually trying to wake me up, watch out, you'll get the alarm clock flung at your head. The DH knows. He got kicked in the ribs not to long ago. Left a bruise. I'm mean. LOL Kathy- I get inspired in the shower too. I mostly do my best thinking in the shower.

My daughter has learned the hard way. Once when we were visiting my family, my sister tried to get her to wake me up. She flat refused to do it. Nobody can call her slow. LOL!

The better the author the more I want to do that! I've had a streak of excellent reads lately (LK's BED being one of them!) and all sorts of stuff has been popping into my head and ultimately pouring out onto the page.

Argh!! Hellion, I listen to POTC while I'm writing too! And POTO, Master & Commander is GREAT! Inspirations usually hit me in the shower when I can't write anything down. Argh!!

But 1) you've never woken me up from a sound sleep, for no reason other than to hand me a phone with a telemarketer on it or to ask if you can have your Christmas present now since that's the only reason you came anyway; 2) I like you and you don't annoy me; and 3) I'm mellowing in my old age. I was a freaking hell of a lot crankier in my early 20s and my nieces would wake me up. They got trained early. I'll be in my room, semi-conscious, and hear Dad say something like, "Fran's in her room if you want to ask her about the movie." NIECE: "Is she asleep?" DAD: "It doesn't matter. You can wake her if she is." NIECE: "No, I'll wait. The documentary about WWII and the fire ants is fine." And don't call me after 9:45 PM unless you've won the lottery, someone died, or you're in dire circumstances and need me to help hide a body. Don't call me to just say hello and sound all chipper...I don't suggest calling me at 9:45 AM for a similar reason. Hope you all with print this for your How To Handle a Hellion Manual....

After reading BED by Lisa Kleypas I had the first real inspiration to write in a long time. Great writers make me want to do great things. My characters talk to me, but not in my dreams usually right before I go to sleep. Great blog Babe:) Books inspire me to write.

I'm frequently woke up by my characters in the middle of the night. Ruiz wakes me up the most. Sometimes Ash. Sometimes Sadie. Not so much her though. Frequently I dream through her eyes. Sounds strange, but it's very true. I'm an extremely light sleeper. Internal chattering keeps me up all night long. I sound schizo. I swear I'm not. Yes.

LOL! And the mention once again of brownies is killing me. I almost had one Monday night but walked away. I don't think I'll be so strong this evening. *sigh* Is that Ruiz that woke you up? Does that really happen? I'm afraid my apartment building could fall over while I was sleeping and I'd hardly notice.

Do you write scenes to the background noise? I sometimes notice when I've been writing something that it mirrors what I've been listening to. Kelly K- Ah, to have inspiration while writing. Priceless! I'm mostly inspired to road rage while driving. LOL Gei- Magical rice cakes? Just what do they put in those things now-a-days? LOL Hellion- I haven’t learned the wrath yet.
