Your parents might not appreciate it if you bring home a naked man, even if you insist it's a well-researched writing technique endorsed by an author with a book deal. Maybe hold off a couple years there.

I'd find a nice naked human to share my bathtub with right now, but I don't think my parents would be very pleased. Oh well. Guess I'll have to put off on that for a few more years, but I thank you for planting the idea in my brain anyway. :D???https://www.blogger.com/profile/06931897373435075660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-63774629464930534812010-03-20T10:25:15.647-07:002010-03-20T10:25:15.647-07:00Harley May, it's been my experience that men a...Harley May, it's been my experience that men are much easier to manipulate when they're naked. Or when you're naked. Or both. Video games are optional.<br /><br />Patrick, the time is always right for fart jokes.<br /><br />Linda G, just be sure you don't diminish Patrick's supply of fart jokes so he doesn't have enough for me. There are only so many fart jokes to go around, you know.<br /><br />TawnaTAWNA FENSKEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11468819219529035563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-39384919596857652522010-03-20T07:42:15.159-07:002010-03-20T07:42:15.159-07:00I'm kind of sad that @PatrickAlan hasn't m...I'm kind of sad that @PatrickAlan hasn't made a fart joke on my blog yet.

And uh...I think I'll take my bathtub brainstorm over your ironing brainstorm any day! :)<br /><br />Patrick, I'm kind of surprised you didn't seize the opportunity to make a fart joke. What, nothing about bubbles in the tub? My mother will be disappointed. <br /><br />Kristina, that's the only room in our house that we painted an interesting color, which is another reason I love it! I adore your idea of making deals with yourself, particularly with music and writing (since I can't possibly write without it). Will definitely have to use that.<br /><br />Jen, kitties and outdoor patios sound like fabulous inspiration. Do you find you write more when the weather is nice or crappy? I'm on the fence with that, and am curious what others have found.<br /><br />Thanks for reading, guys!<br /><br />TawnaTAWNA FENSKEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11468819219529035563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-81012542370049722272010-03-19T13:41:48.291-07:002010-03-19T13:41:48.291-07:00Okay I seriously love your bathtub!

No wonder you have excellent inspiration!<br /><br />I love my L-shaped patio overlooking the freeway and nearby train, I get so much inspiration just sitting out there. Also the bed with my two wonderful kitties laying around. <br /><br />I am inspired best by sleeping, my dreams are good to me :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667521490706435608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-82018168797683988602010-03-19T11:12:24.290-07:002010-03-19T11:12:24.290-07:00I too love your tub space - especially the color a...I too love your tub space - especially the color as I am a big fan of color. :) (I've been described as a colorful character on more than one occasion, let me tell you.)<br /><br />This brainstorming process blog pattern reminds me of writing in college. (Hang on, it will make sense in a bit.)<br /><br />I majored in Lit and History with a minor in Political Science. Hence, lots of writing essays in my collegiate experience. Some of those papers were a breeze to pump out and others were a nightmare.<br /><br />I write to music (ALWAYS!) so if it were a particularly difficult essay, I'd make deals with myself. "After you write 3 paragraphs, you may change the station FROM country western to a more appealing station." Worked like a charm.<br /><br />Too bad I don't have the energy to use my Pandora to help me clean my house!<br /><br />:)kristinahttp://www.tenminutemissive.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-22724044775881111022010-03-19T11:09:40.216-07:002010-03-19T11:09:40.216-07:00I realize this makes me a prude, but I have strict...I realize this makes me a prude, but I have strict rules on my butt not being impacted.<br /><br />Incidentally, that's a very small pool you have there.

Because when I'm not by myself in the shower, I tend to be, um, too busy to brainstorm. <br /><br />I also brainstorm during my exceedingly rare ironing sessions. Rarely is a plot snag worth THAT, though, so I save it for emergencies.Linda G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04576828490765434497noreply@blogger.com
