by Paige Gantt
(Charlotte, NC)

(Dayton, Ohio)

(Ivine, CA US of A)

Using a pen and paper before I read the paper or listen to the news, I sit and write whatever comes to mind. Often a poem or story idea pops onto the page. I got this technique from reading Natalie Goldberg's Writing Down the Bones.

Take Music on a Car Ride

by Chyna

What I do is I take my iPod with me if I'm going somewhere and somebody else is driving. I will stare out the window as the music plays, letting my mind get lost in itself. My characters take over, doing things that I normally wouldn't have imagined them to do.
