Literary Dish Washing

Below are three activities which allow my brain to wander and help me unpick problems while I'm writing a novel.
  1. Showering
  2. Riding the bus
  3. Going for a walk
  4. Just before I fall asleep/have a nap
  The second part of this activity is to do these literary dish washing and make notes of any ideas that generates. Rather tnan including this here, I'm going to store all of my ideas in the Idea Playground, so they're all in one place and easy to find.
