Adding to the Writing Process

There is a lot of talk floating around the web about the actual process a writer uses when writing to create clear images.  Apparently, many create collages.  I'm not one to read magazines, so there just aren't any floating around my house.  I have two versions of my own collage created.

1. The wall above my computer is neatly stacked with unframed pictures from places I have been
2. I create a new desktop for my computer

I'm completely unsure how logical either method may be.  The pictures leave that blue goo residue on my wall when I change them, and the desktop could be a complete waste of time on my computer. (Kind of like all the internet time too many writers struggle with.) 

Anyway, here's my inspiration for a couple different projects.
