Let’s get it on
My favorite chocolates plated—and handy. The CD set on repeat for the soft crooning voice of my fave country hottie (or whoever you prefer—you know the one, his/her soft, sexy voice sends a shiver of delight up your spine). My favorite candles—strawberries and cream—lit and placed about the room. The lights turned down low. I pull my companion close and …

… set my fingers to tapping on those keys!

As writers, especially those who have jobs, spouses, kids, those who can’t write full-time (or those of us who tend to procrastinate with every e-mail and Solitaire game) we have to beg, borrow and steal time to write a scene or two. But maybe from time to time we need to set a “date” with our computer. We’re writers. We’re allowed to create—sometimes we forget to give ourselves permission to do so. So why not schedule our “writer” time. And while we’re at it, set the mood; find whatever it is that allows our creativity to flourish. We can relax, unwind and inspire our muses with prolific possibilities.
