Keep going, even when it seems like you're at a dead in with your creativity. Don't take those late night thoughts for granted or commit them to memory. If the thoughts come, write them down in a journal, use stickey notes, or whatever you can get your hands on. The story eventually comes together.

I was experimenting with writing a stage play about three friends with totally different personality traits, however all going through some type of brokenness in their lives. After completing the script, I wasn't satisfied. I felt there was so much more to each of their stories, so I tried my hand at writing this novel.
