Discussion: Things from your work or other real life sources. Do you ever find that there things from real life that are unexpectedly useful for your fic? Do real life sources not work for your writing?

I do regulated work and there are days when I'm working with certain clients that something that they need me to do for them becomes useful for writing.

I have an expected day off as my regular daytime client cancelled the visit today so I'm hoping to get some more writing done when I get home once I've gotten the few things done that I came out to do that is.

My lack of time is pretty discouraging -- I am hoping against hope for a day off in the next couple of days that will allow me some time to think and get the writing flowing.

I draw on real life as a source from time to time. For example, I once had a concussion and I have used that condition when writing about a character with a head injury.

Visited relatives today after work, so not a whole lot of writing to be done. That should change tomorrow, though.

Discussion: Not really, no. My day-to-day life is about as boring as it gets.
