the collection of ideas

You don't have to be sitting at the computer or with pen and paper in hand to work on your story. Most of my ideas for scenes come as I'm falling asleep living through a small section of a scene. Then theres all that time while walking behind the push mower, or on the rider, you can't talk to anyone, so let the characters talk in your mind. Any of the household and outdoor chores are great times to let the mind wander over a scene. It helps to mentally edit before you write it down.
Sometimes the day is so busy, that I have to use chores for mental writing and then use the 15 minute breaks at work to speed right it all down. 

Use choretime today to help you improve your story.
