I do think of things in the shower, but they never sound right once they go on paper.

When I'm having an "angsty day" as I like to call them, or have something Really Big on my mind, getting on the treadmill usually helps me to straighten my thoughts out. Plus, the endorphin rush generally makes me feel better, which often leads to me wondering why I was so angsty in the first place. As for working out to help my plotting...if I'm not at the gym with friends, I'll tend to let my mind wander and roll different plot points around in my head. For some reason, though, my best plotting tends to happen in the shower, I guess because I'm only half awake and haven't been properly caffeinated yet. *grin* I’ve found that the treadmill does wonders for my psychological well-being.
