Is it a phase of the moon? The cats are all insane, the toddler thinks I’m killing her by enforcing nap time, the phone won’t stop ringing. Too much chaos! Not enough chocolate!

Music to suit the story (varies wildly from one to the next). Coffee (decaf after my allotment of caffeine is used up), daily walks, glazed chocolate cake donuts, cats who go outside to rampage instead of doing it over, under and across my desk, reading material to recharge my brain. Maybe pizza belongs on the list, too. I ate a lot of pizza while writing Dangerous and Love Spell.
