Mexico this October, 2015
My last question was --- where does an author go to plot a story and how are characters personalities formed.
I prefer the solitude of a beach but I live with the Rocky Mountains in the background, so I choose to brainstorm during the night.  My best time to write is from 2 - 4 am.  I brew some espresso, add three shots to hot milk --- and I'm ready to type.  My mind is never blank.  It is always full of possible scenes and new characters, no matter where I am. Writers don't mind standing in line, waiting in airports, driving in traffic.  Our stories never stop until we write "The End."
