What Do You Do When You're Bored?
I'm bored, so I write about being bored until it sparks and idea. What do you do?

What I do When I’m Bored

Well, I’m usually too busy to be bored but when I am I have a variety of ways to entertain myself...

I imagine what my life would be like if I can make all of my dreams come true, what my day to day life would be like, the people I would meet, the people I would help, the incredible things I would do.

I write about what my characters do in-between chapters or in-between books or just the things they do that people don’t typically expect to or want to read in an adventure novel. I write about their day to day routines, their hobbies, what they eat at every meal, their pet peeves.

I write a dialogue between my characters and I as well as dialogue between my characters and other more iconic characters. (eg Emperor Jacob and Emperor Palpatine)

(eg Rebecca meets young Luke Skywalker) (eg I and Emperor Jacob)

When all else fails I listen to music. Music helps my ‘creative muscle’ work. It helps me better visualise my writing.
