With Meg, she’s twenty-three but is really into vintage fashion and loves the 1950s, so I listen to a lot of Frank Sinatra and other big band music when I’m writing. But then, she’s twenty-three so I also listen to Taylor Swift and Portland bands, like The Decemberists since the book is set here.

I usually transform the white board and one wall in my office to inspire me while I write. For example, since Scene of the Climb is set in the Columbia River Gorge so I put up photos and posters of local hikes and climbs. Meg’s a fan of the color pink and vintage fashion, so I had lots of retro pictures up. She loves beer and coffee, so I clipped magazines to make a visual collage of some of what she’d be eating and drinking.

I find that my best ideas and breakthroughs tend to happen when I'm walking, hiking, or swimming versus staring at a blank screen. There's something about physically moving that seems to help move the creative process too. (less)
