Sarah Carlson asked Rajani LaRocca:

How do you get your brain into writer mode?

Rajani LaRocca Because I have a day job and I'm a mom, dog-mom, and wife, I often have to switch into writer mode at a moment's notice, because I'm often writing away from home in minutes I have to spare between other duties. But my best writer-mode inducements are exercise, dog-walking, and showers. In fact, some of my best ideas have shown up while I'm in the shower after working out and then walking the dog! When I'm stuck on something, I find that talking about the story out loud � to a critique partner, family member, or even myself � can help me get unstuck or come up with some new ideas. Oh, and sometimes when I'm driving alone and can't possibly pick up a pen, inspiration strikes. That's when I record myself talking about the idea. The people driving next to me probably think I'm crazy!
