Thomas Collins Jr.
I would love to be able to say writing comes naturally or there is a specific process implemented. This pipe dream would be a lie. I have epiphanies all the time, then sometimes it is gone, no paper, another thought, or something else is going on.
When creative ingenuity actually transpires it is because of the tools, assets, and resources I am blessed to have available. I can act upon the influence of an idea or concept right then and there.
In my case the tools, assets, and resources are a desk of some form, a side table, comfortable seating arrangement, ideally two running laptops, multiple clip boards possessing a half ream of paper, at least two pens, some backup pencils, LAN or WIFI access, at least one tablet with headphones, the phone nearby, and if traveling a safe place for my vehicle and belonging. Oh, and there has to be food and a beverage available just in case of the munchies.
Sounds crazy but when I am ready to go the confetti lands where it decides and my project is underway with a status of outlined, in process, or completed.
I believe ideas abound and travel or human interaction with others and the environment can birth many creative circumstances. I am a homebody and when I get out to engage the world this method works.
