He spends the whole episode asking people if they can figure out what it says. In the end, he sees the movie on TV that he'd been watching and it all comes back to him--only it's not funny at all.<br />I've had that happen. I wake up, jot something down, and come morning can't remember why I'd written it down. Sometimes, I look at it and say, "Why'd I think this was worth writing down?"<br />I like your method better.

I used to try and keep a notepad next to the bed, but clarity rarely survived turning on the light. I've learned to let the stuff swim along like cool fish in my mental aquarium, knowing that the final form will likely be a bit different from the initial images anyway, so why sweat it...Mark nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00044701612570122411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3764159777348916628.post-51408590312194240562014-09-22T10:27:53.266-07:002014-09-22T10:27:53.266-07:00Glad you liked it, Karin!Glad you liked it, Karin!Terri-Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11468004163467894720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3764159777348916628.post-20227869985057345802014-09-22T10:22:47.090-07:002014-09-22T10:22:47.090-07:00Awesome post, Terri!

I must admit to always having a pen and paper as my purse is never far from my reach and from paper it goes to my white idea board. By the way, I think you would make a very enchanting unicorn.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797774738237643876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3764159777348916628.post-59844515206257567402014-09-22T09:29:11.314-07:002014-09-22T09:29:11.314-07:00Hey, Renee!

I write on my thigh. I can do that without looking! And I won't lose it. If my clothes don't cover it, the tattoos kind of make it blend in.

Actually, I did, but it was in the car, which required several navigated sets of stairs on slightly choppy water. I opted for the grump. :)<br /><br />If the voice start using the iPhone for you, I'll call the sweet little men in the clean white suits to come take you away.

Sometimes I'm trying to drive and scribble down ideas. Snippets of dialog. Revised plot points as I try to drive.
