While You're Doing The Dishes

Hello, blog world. So sorry that I haven't posted anything in a while! :( I'll try to get back into posting regularly.

"The best time for planning a book is while you're doing the dishes."

~Agatha Christie

    Ideas can come during strange times, can't they?
    It's really cool when they do! You can be doing something completely ordinary (like walking to class or vacuuming) when this brilliant idea suddenly strikes. Then more little ideas connect to it, and the story forms in your mind, and viola! Same with plotting too--you can be doing regular stuff when you notice something and think, "hmm, what if that happened next to my main character?"
    Brainstorming sessions are fantastic for coming up with ideas, but sometimes ideas come when you don't expect it. When you're active, and your mind is stimulated, and you can daydream. Like when taking a walk around the neighborhood or (as Dame Christie states in this quote) while doing the dishes
    When do you usually get inspired? :)
