Writer Amy Shannon answered and asked all writers in her recent blog, "Where do you write?" (she is a GoodReads author I follow)

Kimberly Davis Basso I am often inspired by other artists, usually visual but occasionally musical. Sculpture gardens, gardens in general I find very inspiring. I don't write about them, per se, but being in them relaxes me and tends to let the creativity flow. Even though I write on a laptop, I crave that disconnect from man made things. Most days that means acknowledging the birds outside my kitchen window, but it's enough.

To research on the go - I recently started using an app called OneNote. It organizes on the fly ideas, notes, and pictures, so that if something does inspire me, I can quickly "take" it with me - as you did in the graveyard. Since I started, I've added to two current WIPs, started compiling ideas for a third, and then have a file that is literally "whatever."
