I feel like I'm stagnating a little at the moment. My novel writing has faltered and I need something to goad me back into action.

So, my fine Lithers I present you with a challenge. Suggest to me some things I can do to get my brainpan crackling again. My only proviso is that it needs to be relatively cheap, the Scientist is low on his green at the moment.

Go to somewhere public you normally wouldn't go (casualty, a gallery, a museum, the playground, a McDonald's) and sit there for an hour. Observe the people around you, eavesdrop on their conversations, imagine their lives before and after this place and time and outside this context.

Take a notebook or don't, it's up to you; but I bet you'll see or hear something interesting that will spark off a few ideas. Other people are an endless source of weirdness and fascination.

Or you can go the opposite way and find yourself a creek or expanse of woods and just walk for a few hours, clear your head of all the cobwebs. you never know what intersting things you'll find

Your brain is frizzled, and friend, and tofu?
Well just get a drink, a notebook, some food,
write on your drink, and eat up your notebook,
drink up the food, and make all the folk look,
in your general direction, they'll think you've gone mad,
and show them your thong, I'm sure they'll be glad,

And if this doesn't stimulate your creative juices,
Just start using weapons, you can borrow old Bruce's!
