Of course, this doesn't help when inspiration strikes while I'm in the bath, which happens quite a lot. I wind up juggling a couple of pages worth of dialogue in my head until I get out, get dried and dressed and grab a notebook. I figure lying back in the water has to be good for letting the imagination fly free, or something like that. Same with going for walks.

I think most effectively in the shower. Something about the running water. I usually end up falling asleep in the bath.

I would, but when I'm in the shower I spend entirely too much time trying to get the water temperature right to let my mind wander. :D

lol @ bec
Nothing like the perfect temp, I guess. I have that problem with the bath. Our house a huge, airy old thing. It's a beeeatch to heat, because it's two story, the attic, and the basement. Everywhere but the first floor is just icy in the winter. And it's still cold enough to wear hoodies and sweats around on the first floor. Naturally, the bath is on the second floor, so I'll run the water, then choke down a scream of agony as my freezing feet hit the hot water. And then after it fills, the water goes cold in about ten minutes just because the bathroom is so cold.
It's actually colder inside than out. Stupid nature.

I write in my room on my computer and I lock the door so I'm not ever disturbed. Usually I flick on some hard rock or metal to get me "in the zone", and that works. But yeah, I write away from people in a very isolated enviroment.
