Although...sometimes real writers vacuum the pool.

What is it about water? The calm blue of a pool, even when dotted with bugs in their death throes, can be inspirational.

I have a writer-friend who does all her rewriting in her tub. She's got one of those big, walk-in spas. On the edge, where some folks keep spare bottles of shampoo and razors, she has a mug full of pens. She swears by this method. Writing while in water boosts her creativity. And she has a group of brainstorming buddies who swear to the same theory. Since's she's multipublished, I figure, she knows what she's talking about.

I have yet to try writing while in the tub. Or the pool. Maybe I'll try after I finish scooping out the bugs.
