Jonathan's guide to inspiration

Pour yourself a cup of tea, turn on a open fire, get cozy in the couch; these are a few ways of getting into the mood required to write a wonderful story. At least for me. When I joined a 2-week-long writing campus we lived near a beautiful lake and near it stood one of Sweden's oldest castles. But that didn't inspire me much.

Instead, I turn to the more subtle aura around me. Fragrance and soft clothes are a few to be mentioned. And just recently, I discovered a band called Freshlyground, who does wonders to my imagination. You may recognize them from Waka Waka where they sung together with Shakira. They sure are my cup of tea!
