I'd say...Hey, hopped over here from Charlie's blog. I'd say, most days (because lately I've been really busy), inspiration strikes me at work at a time when I couldn't possibly write it down. I try to repeat it in my head, but then a customer calls or I have to talk to someone and it flutters away. But when I get inspiration other places (like, say my shower), I can usually hold onto it long enough to write it down after. And some days I find I just take a shower because I'm hoping for inspiration.<br /><br />I think it's kinda like going for a jog. It clears my mind. There isn't much to look at or read or distract me in the shower...and sometimes that's the key to really focusing on what I want to write or plan next...SJDuvallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10598176076288051750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110160045151463659.post-88424576594927201862009-04-24T09:53:00.000-05:002009-04-24T09:53:00.000-05:00I'll have to remember the oil pencil thing.

I always tell her if I knew what she was going to be like, I never would have rescued her. I'm always kidding, of course. She makes me laugh.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06905515473737579937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110160045151463659.post-16653460942160018442009-04-24T09:35:00.000-05:002009-04-24T09:35:00.000-05:00I'm cracking up over your cat - too funny!

When I'm in the middle of writing something big (like a first draft push) I often have a crazy sleep schedule, but it works.<br /><br />I have a friend who keeps an oil pencil tied to a string in her shower so she can write down flashes of inspriation on the shower wall. True story and not a bad idea.<br /><br />Hope you get a nap!Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10014195715998913268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110160045151463659.post-49165730256610065942009-04-23T15:23:00.000-05:002009-04-23T15:23:00.000-05:00Lady Glamis - sometimes I can remember the inspira...Lady Glamis - sometimes I can remember the inspiration, other times I can't. Sometimes its the kernal of Inspiration that's important. Trust me, when jotting notes at stoplights, I don't always have time for full sentences, so I just write down key words and hope I can put them together into coherency when I get home. :)Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06905515473737579937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110160045151463659.post-52301479191237690622009-04-23T15:12:00.000-05:002009-04-23T15:12:00.000-05:00I always get inspiration when I'm falling asleep. ...I always get inspiration when I'm falling asleep. I used to write stuff down, and then when I realized that my thoughts were never very good, I just let the inspiration seep in and stick. If it sticks until I'm awake, I know it's worth keeping. :)Michelle D.
