I'd travel to the Shire in Middle Earth. Living there for a while or forever will allow me to live out my days meeting amazing people; good folks. It would also lend an environment that is perfect for me to write in :D <3

Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy.
I am entirely aware how cliche it must sound but, for better or for worse, it's the truth. I love the complexity and balance of their emotions and their minds.
It's very real to me...

I practice "stream of consciousness". It's a process by which I prompt myself with anything... could be a word, phrase, picture, thought..... and I write without stopping. I write every word that comes to my mind....every thought! The idea is that you let your mind stream and flow.

You'll never be alone and you'll always be alone.
We prefer to be alone because writing is not an interactive experience. It is our silent tongues telling tales of spinning worlds inside our minds.

1) There are no such things as "rules" for the imagination.
2) Never let anyone tell you: "You're doing it wrong."
3) It's YOUR story/poem etc., direct your sail :)
4) Show the world how beautiful language is. Reveal it's power.

I start paying attention to EVERYTHING. I don't just look or glance at the world... I observe it.
When that fails, I revert my eyes and look within myself.

I was working on my Master's and started to have a series of related dreams night after night. The dreams were of ancient Egypt. As I thought about the dreams, my words describing the thoughts in my head started to become more eloquent.
That's when I started to write everything down..... and then the magic happened.
