Sometimes I'll jot tidbits into a small A6-sized paper notebook. But sometimes I'll get stuck, and I've recently discovered my wife's large drawing board. I'll grab it off her easel, put a few sheets of cheap 18x24 newsprint on that, and suddenly I'm free to draw, doodle, mindmap, columnize, and all those other things which a large blank paper space invites; it nearly always helps get me over the hump.

Artist's are particularly notorious for fetish, ritual, superstition and dependence when it comes down to the "work" of creating art. But as Hugh MacLeod says "The more talented somebody is, the less they need the props." Of course props can help set a mood and inspire the imagination. I'm quite fond of my props - but fondness and dependence are two very different things. Thanks for the great post!
