Waking up! Well, let's be more specific. I get an idea and occasionally outline it in a notebook. However, the best for me is once an idea pops into my head, I research if needed. Then, like a plant needs water, I feed it mentally with internal questions, and let it alone. Every day/week it grows and becomes more fluid in my mind. Then I write.

Book Two of the Rail Legacy, told in third person because it branches out to the whole city and many more characters. Plotting my first dieselpunk and first atompunk novels. I will let y'all know how it's going via Facebook and here!

World creating, but really it's made non-social me be very social, at least on social networks. And that's a huge step as I instinctively have no desire to communicate verbally. Sometimes now I'm quite chatty. Thanks writing!

Practice writing everyday, even if you find it's bad. Bad writing can be rewritten later. No writing can't be.
