Here are some notes on a great panel at Life the Universe and Everything SF/F symposium. The topic is on keeping our mind open to new ideas.

• Get adequate sleep.
• Sometimes being stuck away from your tools of writing, gives you opportunity to plot
• When you stuck on writing pushed through and keep writing. You may think that a particular scene is terrible, but actually when you go back. You’ll find out who is actually okay. If it isn’t a good scene you can always edit it is always easy to edit something than to edit a blank page.
• Sometimes limited time can motivated you to write because you’re under a deadline.
• Taking a walk in nature is often a good opportunity to brainstorm.
