What is it that prompts you to write a particular article or story?
Though you say you have stopped writing as a creative outlet I see lots of creativity being expressed in what you have written. How could you describe what you say about the Tarot as not being very creative and informative at the same time? If your intention was to get people to read your hubs then you have succeeded with that opening line. I will have to use it sometime
(btw Cagsil taught me how to make that laughing face recently.) I will defintely be reading your hubs over the coming week and I will be sure to point out your creative genius in the comments
An extremely well planned creative train of thought from one word.
It depends on what the article or story is.
I've written some articles in response to news stories, others in response to Hubs I've read, and still others as a response to heated forum discussions I was involved in. My stories are usually a 'what if' situation in my head (oh, um...I meant um, daydreams...
...ahem!) but the few I've actually written were prompted through various means.
My life story: Obvious.
The story I wrote for my creative writing class: A combination of a desire to answer questions regarding my great-aunt and the mysterious existence of the 104 year old heiress who recently passed away. (I first heard about her a month before the class began)
A screenplay: Prompted by a daydream after my daughter threatened to not allow me to see her children - should she ever have any. (she can be very emotional and melodramatic!!)
(so far that's it. but quite a few to be working on at the same time!!)I come up with ideas at unusual times like when I was biking to the pool
& swallowed a fly ! while in the water etc.
Yesterday I was in the milk aisle in the supermarket & came up with another idea & had my camera with me so got some photos while there .As we travel I take a lot of photos for future hubs.

What is your favorite time of day to write?
I don't just mean hubpages, though that counts, too. I mean when you feel that creative urge and you want to sit down and let the language flow until something beautiful comes out, whether it's a short story, a bit of a novel, a poem or, yes, a hub.
