You get energy from other people, so hang out with energetic people.
Yeah, it's a weird little niche, but by God, it's my niche.
I'm a writer and I also do a lot of professional speaking on risk taking and creativity as well.
I'm really good at building things that shoot, hurl, or throw stuff.
In my workshop, I like to have the TV on for background noise, but I only put on shows that you don't really need to watch in serial order; stuff you can glance up every once in a while and still know what's going on; for example, Cops reruns, Jeopardy!, and Forensic Files.
I work with a lot of different editors at different publishers and magazines and so on, and having a system of shared folders makes keeping track of things a snap.
