The soreness of muscles. The dehydration. The long days in the sun. The first day is fine. Except for the sunburn because you didn't realize how much sunscreen you need to apply. But on the second day, it goes downhill. The effects of the first day blast you in the face, but impact your entire body. The dehydration starts slowly, and builds. The sunburn stings, but thankfully, you know to keep your body lauthered in sunsreen. The third day, even worse. You're working through the physical and mental effects of the first and second days. Now your back hurts. You can't bend down comfortably. You don't realize how much your feet hurt until you sit down. But at least you're drinking enough water now. The fourth is a little better. You know how to deal with the aches. But it's still there. The last day, you're ready to drop. You can't stand it any longer. And at the end of rehearsal, you drop to the ground in relief. You realize, it's over. At least for now. 

Usually, I get the greatest ideas in the middle of something. Sometimes I'm reading a book. Sometimes I'm washing the dishes. Most of the time, I'm at school. 

Ideas just "explode" and I quickly write it down. Then, if I have time, I start a mini plot line of the story-> or at least that event. I have a terrible memory, so I need to write everything down before I forget my idea. 

Once the plot is done, I set aside the idea. Because I have lots of ideas, and I can't write 5 books at once. But sooner or later, I'll get to the idea again, and fill in the gaps. 

I usually write right after reading (a good book- nothing school assigned) because my imagination is overflowing at that point. From there, I usually don't even know what I'm writing until I finish. I know what I'm supposed to be writing, but it doesn't always turn out.
