I sometimes clap for myself when I write something well or my characters surprise me. Not like a 'bravo' clap but like a happy, yey clap. And sometimes I get caught acting out the action scenes. (Nothing like having an audience when your pretending to kick in an imaginary door.)

I also asked Gina the following question....
If you could ask any person, living or dead, a random question -- what question would you ask of whom?
I'd ask Ane Mulligan why she puts tea cups on her head.
Being a curious individual - I sought out Ane and posed this strange question.
She provided the following answer....
LOL – well my brain needs caffeine for creativity. The closer the source, the quicker the fix … right?

Thats great Gina. I sometimes appear a little looney while writing at my computer. If I write something I'm very happy with, I start laughing out loud. Occasionally I do a mad-scientist type of laugh-- Wah ha ha.. I am a writer!!
My other ritual is reading my chapters out loud. Helps me hear the mistakes and odd-sounding spots I've missed. Thanks Kelly!
That's it all writers are weird. Or is it just us Penwrights. Who knows. At least I don't put teacups on my head I guess! Have a good one, Kelly!
