    Question do you shape/exercise/relax before you write?

    or do you write whenever whatever all moods con necessary?

    I admit I find it easier to write early in the morning just after I got up fresh from a restful sleep. I am even more inspired when I have not put the news on or the radio. Having no outside influences from the world can sometimes be a booster for more writing to come. clear headed does usually do the trick.
    i am one to believe that ensuring some kind of harmony restfulness within oneself before writing is vital if we are to write for the future.
    the other thing I could not do is write when I am hungry. I have to eat recharge before writing otherwise no concentration whatsoever.

    I like to write very late at night. Or in short bursts in a little notebook while walking around. And on the bus. If I'm out of the house I can write anytime, but I can't get up, stay at home and immediately start to write.

    I try to always shape before I write something. (?)

    I used to do it in the same way. However now I don`t have much time to write.

    Interesting about the little note book. I tend to retain words in my head a mental revision if you like. I have not got a note book because I am either my bike of walking to get somewhere. I never tried jotting words down when I am out.
