My "friends" at work created this tabloid size poster of me as the guy from Napolian Dynomite then stuck it to the wall in our office. Now that's a picture that's not inspired me to write anything!<BR/><BR/>JT, definitely music helps. By the way...ain't it time you attach your picture to your profile? After all, it is up on Murderati...not like you're hiding yourself. Besides, your a soon-to-be-published author now. People need to know who you are.<BR/><BR/>JB, how lucky you are to be so close to nature. About the closest thing to nature I have is the La Brea Tar Pits...well, there is the Pacific Ocean about 10 miles away...Brett Battleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03786471378650235415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20533065.post-1147797822529850722006-05-16T09:43:00.000-07:002006-05-16T09:43:00.000-07:00Wait, Sandra's not old enough to remember Saturday...Wait, Sandra's not old enough to remember <I>Saturday Night Fever</I>???<BR/><BR/>Gee, thanks, now I feel REALLY old.<BR/><BR/>=)J.B.

Wish I'd come up with that one.<BR/><BR/>I'm into communing with nature when I get stuck for ideas - taking a walk around our neighborhood usually does the trick. I see something new on each trip (we live in a fairly rural area, so there are lots of animals, wildlife, flora, sounds, etc.). Like Brett's pictures, it may not give me a full-blown on the page story, but it gets me away from my desk long enough to freshen my perspective and enable me to get back to work.<BR/><BR/>And, like JT and Brett, I've always got some kind of music going in the background when I write - especially the upbeat stuff, really gets the juices flowing.J.B.
