1/2 Asleep

Don’t the best ideas come just as you are falling asleep or wake you up in the middle of the night? “Oh, wow, that would be the perfect -whatever- I’ll have to remember that in the morning.” And then….you can’t…remember that is.

I’m pretty sure I’m not alone in this loss of the best story line idea. I know that some people sleep with a pad of paper and pen/pencil beside their bed to write these ideas down. It is a good plan, but as inspiration doesn’t strike me at this time of day that often…nah…no pad of paper or pen.

Well, get up then and go to the other room and write it down! “This bed is so warm/cool (which ever), I just want to stay here. I’m sure I’ll remember it in the morning.”

I wonder how many earth-changing ideas have been lost due to a warm bed and forgetful memory? Then again, maybe it is just as well. Perhaps, if we had written them down and tried to decipher it in the morning, we would wonder if we are on drugs.

How about you?
