I took Audrey, our latest Seeing Eye puppy, for a walk today and figured out some more elements for my current work in progress.  That tends to happen—while I walk, my brain goes into problem solving mode.  It also does it when I’m in the shower or driving, all places where it is difficult to write things down. 

Last Fall, while I was just starting the wip, I took a really long walk and came up with the first part of the book.  I called my daughter on my cell phone to write down my notes, but she wasn’t at home so she couldn’t do it.  I called my son, who was, and he suggested I just call myself at home and leave a message, but he took the notes anyway.

Today I came up with more questions than answers, but the answers to those questions will be the rest of my book, hopefully, so it wasn’t a total loss.  I mentioned them all to Audrey (we are always told to talk to our puppies) but she won’t tell me what I said.  I should have taken my son’s advice.
