Mam to przetłumaczyć na poniedziałek , mógłby ktoś pomóc? byłabym bardzo wdzięczna. ;) Mrs Rance, my old English teacher, once wrote on my report card, ' Gavin is a pleasant boy but has no imagination.' Perhaps she was right. Certainly, when I was sixteen, I found writing very stressful - my mind used to go blank in the middle of an essay because I didn't have any ideas. I'm sure Mrs Rance was surprised when I became a writer. The truth is that people work best in different conditions and I had to find out for myself the conditions that were most creative for me. The first thing is to find a place where you enjoy working. I used to do my homework lying on the floor. Nowadays I do all my writing at the kitchen table. The great short story writer Raymond Carver used to write while he was sitting in his car, parked in front of his apartment. Others find the noise and distractions of libraries or railway stations more inspiring than at a desk at home. The next thing is to identify the time of day when you feel creative and can work without interruption. Toni Morrison, the American novelist, used to get up half an hour before dawn, light a candle and wait for the sun to come up before she got down to work. I prefer staying up to work when everyone else is asleep. The French writer, Henri d'Aguesseau, whose wife was always ten minutes late for dinner, used this time to write every evening. He kept on writing and a year later he finished his book (and it eventually became a bestseller!) But what do you do when the ideas aren't coming? The most important thing is to stop concentrating on the problem and to do something else. I find my best ideas come to me when I'm chilling out in the bath. I'm not the only one - Benjamin Franklin did most of his writing in the bath and of course Archimedes solved a complicated problem while he was having a bath. There's a good reason why taking a break in the middle of your work is creative - when you relax it is easier for the right part of the brain (responsible for imaginative thinking) to come up with creative ideas. So it's official - relaxing is creative. Another good time to come up with ideas, according to the scientists, is just after you wake up. At this time your brain is disorganised but the right part of the brain is still very active so you are open to all sorts of unusual ideas. So sometimes I wake up fifteen minutes early and just lie in bed and think - it can be very creative.
