It’s hanging out with friends, falling in love, facing hard times, going to work, getting in and out of trouble, raising a family, and all the other things that some new writers tend to regard as distractions. But they aren't distractions. They’re part of writing, because everything a writer does contributes to the craft. Writers who find themselves staring into space and waiting for inspiration might consider getting up and reentering the fray. Ideas come from life.
