I would solve a lot of literary problems just thinking about a character in the subway, where you can't do anything anyway.
I sometimes lose interest in the characters and get much more interested in the trees and animals.
Some literature is knowledge, some is just data. But if I can get a "happy" ending - which is when for the characters I'm writing about, something happens that they move from wherever they are in the beginning to knowledge or wisdom, they know something they never would have acknowledged or realized if it hadn't been for my book - that for me is what literature does.
