Sounds kooky, but I get many of my ideas for Sixes and other stories when I'm either in the shower or driving. What connects me is actually disconnecting. No radio or Internet or television making noise.
For me , its water. If I need to work something out, doing something related to or being near water usually gets me to where I need to be in my head. I carry several notebooks, a couple flahdrives around with me as well. The usb cable does play its own role.
I love to watch people. No matter where I am. In the Dentist, Supermarket, or just walking the dog. I love to just watch and sixes just pop in my head.
Driving. Showering. Cooking. Sleeping. Dreaming. I don't know if it can be called creativity - inspiration or random thoughts, perhaps, that come together when I'm least expecting them to ...
Sleeping...which is elusive for me right now and connection to others. I am the most "real" or creative when I feel like I'm having an impact or making a positive difference.
I sit at starbucks and use napkins for my notebook
About Six-Word Questions
SMITH Magazine brings you an entirely new kind of six-word experience: Six-Word Questions. This is the place to pose a question to the SMITH community from, "What are your favorite Six-Word quotations" to challenging members to pen Six-Word Obituaries to the recently departed to Six-Word jokes and any other Six-Word question you can dream up. You can even request that the responses be in six words. Everyone has a question—what's yours?
