And if ideas are not? Drama, frustration, nervousness, blank page syndrome (or blank screen) ... And I do not think there is a secure system to facilitate the birth of the idea. Inspiration maybe it's just an urban legend, because in any case, if there is something so evanescent that if you can not stop it immediately evaporates. We must capture the idea, began to dress in mind, a piece at a time but continuously, because if you neglect us goodbye and go ... Then, maybe even start inking something, make history around the idea. Only when you have enough light, you can start working seriously. And even this is not true, because writing can also change direction and do not know where it will come: perhaps where you would get anyway, but following a path that we had not imagined. And that's the beauty of writing, let go of what is, so following a common thread (you still know what you want to say), but leaving a small opening for the spark of the unexpected. For this reason I do not think there is a better method than another. Every writer certainly has its rituals, its methods. The mythical apple of Agatha Christie in the bathtub, or the pipes already loaded with Simenon, aligned on the table for him not to interrupt the thread. Some people write better at night, who writes by hand, who said ... But the cure is independent from this idea, which ultimately belongs only dell'aneddotica more or less true of a character. The only true thing is that when ideas are not, then maybe you should stop, think of something else and wait ...
