First, I have my dog to help me. On our walks he helps with many ideas. Then, there is the world around me. Lots to pick from regarding current events. When I get stuck, I write for a little then stop. Once I havestarted I feel obligated to finish. So as I think about the subject more and more I write. Then I edit and give to my top critic, my wife. Once she reviews I review again. Then it is done. May take a few days, but so what. Another piece is done.
