Happy (early) Halloween! Hard to believe it's that time of year again...seems to come around quicker each year. How time does fly. I'm going to keep this short as I'm busy working on my latest WIP...
I love the spicy scents of autumn...pumpkin and cinnamon that roll into the holiday festivities. I am one of those writers that like to 'set the mood' when I sit down to write. Depending on the season/setting to which I'm writing, I choose an appropriately scented candle...i.e.: heather, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, honeysuckle, etc.; maybe put on some music and/or, if I'm working on a story from a certain time period, I might pop in a DVD and listen to the dialogue to get the brain waves flowing. Pictures, etc. are also very helpful.
The more I'm able to escape to that other world, the more life I can breathe into my tale--and characters. If you haven't tried this, you should. ...Any props you have that you'd like to share to get those creative thoughts flowing?!?
Until next time, happy reading/writing.
