Hi Platt When I am particularly vexed by some problem, be it how to fix the small engine I am working on or how to get the story I am writing to come out right, I do all the research I possibly can. I jot down every possible solution in a little notepad I always keep in my pocket. Even if it seems implausible, I jot it down anyway. I search the Internet. I go to the library and read up on any similiar situations. I check through old newspapers. It's amazing what one discovers. Then, when I am super-saturated with knowledge, I just forget it all. That's why I jot it down. So I don't have to remember. Then, I do something else... anything, it doesn't matter. Sometimes days go by, sometimes weeks and even months. But one day, out of the blue, when I am absorbed with something else, maybe taking a walk and listening to the quiet or sitting in the sun reading a good book, BLAM! Like a bolt of lightning, I have the solution. I have no idea where it comes from. But it is there. And of course I have my notepad handy to write it down. Even if I am in the shower, I will towel off quick and jot it down lest it evaporates. It works for me and I have read where others have had success as well. I can't say why it works but it does.
