Thanks! I love both the book and the movie too. The book is such a perfect match between the style of the writing -- slow and seductive -- and the story. The movie retains a lot of the author's original language. I love it when a movie does that.

I just take a break and go work on a quilt for awhile. I can't even say how many scenes in my books were figured out while I sat in a chair, patiently and methodically hand quilting. Hand quilting is an activity that requires you to focus, but not really think. It almost never fails to knock loose the ideas in my brain!

Read, and read widely. Inspiration is everywhere.
Be patient. Sometimes you just can't rush the process.
Have fun. If you're not enjoying writing it, readers probably won't enjoy reading it.
When you get stuck, take a break and go for a walk. Or drive to the store for cupcakes. Works every time.

Well, I write romance so I'd have to say the best thing is getting to relive the thrill and wonder of falling in love. Also, I just like to play with words.
