Day 14: This is a funny little piece of advice, but it’s true for me. If I’m engaging my body, even the most mundane of ways, I’m often blessed with the answer to a plot problem or a few stupendous sentences.

Let your mind wander loosely around the subject, skirting it gently, & it probably won’t be long very long at all before a spark of inspiration settles on your shoulder…
