Honestly-I am happiest and write best in complete chaos. My kids love giving me wonderful ideas for plot twist and advising me. They are the best editors I have ever worked with. It’s fun to sit in a room full of family and write or plot together.
When it rains and I can’t get to the beach at the end of my street, I write by the fire and eat too much! :) Sometimes I plot on the beach or take my laptop to a picnic table overlooking Indian Beach.
And when I am just lost or not in the mood, I call my mother who is losing her sight, and read what I gave so far to her. She is a brutal critique and I love it! I need it.
And when I need encouragement I come right here or to reviews and read your thoughts.
