Take care to surround myself with sensual stimuli: kooky hats, lucky stones, music. Clears the mind and prepares it for writing. Still, I'm kind of glad to hear others drink, makes them more human somehow! Don’t drink while I write, though maybe I should!

It's funny how I ended up using techniques & filters I wouldn't normally use on people pictures. As you can imagine the images didn't get sent and I had to do them again in the morning!

Having worked both freelance and in a corporate environment, I can see both sides to this argument. Freelancing requires a great deal of self-control and motivation. Creativity is great. Getting no work done is less so. An office environment offers very little in the way of distraction. Nice post.

I don't drink any more, so don't get the "benefits" of that any more :) ... but some of my best ideas have come from strolling around the countryside near to where I live. Occasionally, I also get some work done. I agree, freelancers DO have the edge.
