  3. That would mean I'd have to do the dishes. Don't tell my kids that.

  4. Ahh one of my favorite quotes! And so true! I bet I get a good 85% of my ideas when doing the dishes. Something about the warm water and mindlessness of the task :)

  5. Or loading the dishwasher. ;) I agree!

  6. That's probably true. Think about the book whenever you can. Me, I've always planned as I was about to fall asleep.

  7. Nah, I'll stick to thinking about it while I'm on a long motorcycle ride :)

    No dishes for me!

  8. That's exactly what I do. I hate how the dishwasher washes the glasses, so I do them by hand. Which is boring.

    I also plan my novels while running. :D

  10. Or in the tub, shower, while scrubbing the toilet or driving. Driving really does it for me.

  11. I have been caught taking too long in the shower, folding a towel more than once, or taking forever to sweep a floor. Writing is such a mental exercise. Great quote!

  12. So, dirty dishes=writers block? That explains so much...
