I recently discovered a new way of working on a story. Much helped by the fact that I was frantically trying to finish for a deadline, I took the laptop with me on a camping trip. Camping?? I hear you say, how did that work? Well, it helps if you have a folding camper and electrical hook-up and, I've also found, it helps if you can't access the internet and get fatally distracted. With the side wall opened out, a glass of wine beside me and the table set up for typing, I sent the boys out to guddle in a stream and just got on with it. Job done, deadline met, and a smile on my face every time I looked at the view. Thoroughly recommend it.
