When You Least Expect It, the Muse Strikes - How to Handle the Flow, Day 2

This is my well-worn little notebook that I keep in my purse. That way I have it with me at all times whenever I get an idea. Oh, and don't forget to also have a pen handy. (I usually have 2 or 3 pens, since I inevitably choose one that won't write.)

When You Least Expect It, the Muse Strikes - How to Handle the Flow, Day 1

I'm going to take the next few days talking about how I handle situations when the muse suddenly strikes, and I'm nowhere near a computer. That, or I'm simply too tired to log back on.

See this? It's my notebook I keep by my bed. When I'm in the shower, or I wake up from a dream, I just jot down what I want to remember. Sometimes the simple act of writing it down helps me recall it the next time I get ready to write. Otherwise, it's there for me to read.
