“I work crossword puzzles to get the brain revved up.”—Larry L. King

What stimulates your creativity? What triggers your mind to connect all those random ideas that have been cluttering up your mental space and turn them into readable prose? When you run headlong into writer’s block, what do you use to explode it into a million little pieces?
For me, it’s movement—any kind of physical activity that removes me from the keyboard and office. I’ll start running the sweeper or mowing the grass, unroll my yoga mat and do some asanas, even go for a walk, and like a dam bursting, all those ideas flood my brain.
Maybe it’s the blood flow to my brain or maybe it’s the psychological impact of moving away from that which is frustrating me but inevitably, I find my creativity is most stimulated when I’m not in my work environment.
What about you? What methods do you use that feed your spirit, unlock the handcuffs on your imagination or blow that block into oblivion?
