Happy Writing Zone

I told my daughter that I had to write and she immediately lit up. A smile on her face as she passionately enthused all kinds of story ideas.

Her exhilaration was contagious. And I eagerly listened to her excited narration.

However, I unfortunately did have to tell her that I couldn’t use her tales since I was actually writing a blog.

Nevertheless, she did spark an idea for this post because it made me think…

Is this how electrified we are whenever we sit down to write?

And if not, why?

How do we capture and then release that thrill with every new scene?

Would looking at pictures help? Listening to music? Imagining how good it will feel to write, “The End”?

What do you do to get into your happy writing zone?
