How do you define play? Does it show up in your writing?
What do you wonder about?
Describe aspects of life that baffle you.

Are you aware of a seasonal or daily rhythm in your writing? Begin to track on a calendar your times of peak performance in writing.
Do you journal? How often?
What distracts you from writing? How do you deal with it?

When an idea arrives, what do you do? Where do you take it?
Describe your experience with reading over the years?
How does reading a variety of literature assist your process?
