So I woke up in the middle of the night with this great dialogue flashing between two of my characters. Did I get up to write any of it down? Nah, it was so vivid I knew I’d remember it….
Where am I this morning? Sitting here with a cup of coffee, half a bagel and an empty computer screen staring back at me. Should have gotten up and written it down.
Good morning everyone. Happy Monday and happy writing. Now get to work.
Don’t you just hate that when it happens. I put a journal next to my bed for those moments after missing so many of them. Well, guess what happened?! – I haven’t woke up with a great idea since then.
Happy Monday to you too!
PS – Great picture!
Oh darnit, I hate when that happens! And you know what, I did the same as DS and I haven’t written a thing in it b/c I haven’t thought of anything good in the middle of the night!
This might say something about me, but for some reason every week when I go to church, my mind starts racing with ideas. I usually spend the first few minutes of the sermon jotting them all down. I guess whatever works, eh? (don’t tell my pastor – LOL)
Hmmm, now I’m not sure whether I should put a notebook on the nightstand or not. I don’t want to chase away any ideas!
Maybe, Kathan, it’s that meditative, quiet sense when everything is still that gets you going.
(And your poor pastor!! S/he is thinking, ‘hey, my sermon is so hot that Kathan is sitting there taking notes!’)
I always wake up with ideas first thing in the morning then have the ‘should I pee first or write down my idea first’ debate. heh heh heh. Maybe I should put a notepad in the bathroom.
Did you get my comment?
Dayner — I thought I did. Didn’t you add something about writing in the bathroom? I had a whole host of spam that I deleted and may have thrown you out with that bunch.
Sorry.
Dayner — found it in spam and re-inserted it in the blog.
