Ooooh mulled wine, mince pies, Christmas music. Much more fun than just imagination and I’m sure inspirational too.
Great blog – – really enjoyed it xx

Great blog! To first commenter: Yes writers must primarily rely on their imagination and skills, but sometimes imagination needs a kick start or a helping hand. These are fantastic tips to spark ideas and get you in the mood.

In reply to JC. Ooh, I think a few mince pies and festive background music certainly help the imagination though :)

You could simply use your imagination along with good diction, which is the job of the writer anyway.
