The freedom do whatever I want. Well, not whatever I want, but mostly. can work from anywhere. Midday naps in a hammock. Midday booze. Working in sweatpants. The fact that I can avoid people by staying home for days. It's a part of the creative process, I say. It's true, but some days I just don't feel like dealing with people.

I light an Ecto Cooler candle. Yeah, there’s a candle that smells like those old Hi-C juice boxes. Or are those back now too?
Either way, a nice, sweet aroma of nostalgia really stimulates the writing senses. (It also leads to awful and unnecessary Hollywood reboots and remakes, but this isn’t the time or place.)
Once I get my room smelling decent, I read famous writers or listen to writers talking about their craft. Then I throw on some headphones, dance around my place listening to 80s rock. Once I get a good burst of energy, I sit down and start writing. I keep the music on as I write. Never when I edit.
