I keep my trusty pad and pen handy at all other times, because ideas are precious - they fly out of your mind as quickly as they enter.Amanda Leigh Cowleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14473578405020011393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6864466917051288017.post-91169893610527047042012-06-27T11:25:53.528-07:002012-06-27T11:25:53.528-07:00I've been known to pull over on the road and f...I've been known to pull over on the road and fling ideas onto my phones notepad. I've also found out if I say it aloud a few times, I can recall it later. Beware, people will look at you like you're crazy as you chant your idea.Leslie S.

Sometimes I'm not a good sport about it.<br /><br />Meredith: I need to be better about writing it down.<br /><br />Jillian: That's a great idea! Now I just need to go buy a recorder.<br /><br />Julie: Thanks for the vote of confidence. I am following your advice and working on the one that is calling my the most.<br /><br />Saumya: here's hoping meditation works. It's stil up for debate.<br /><br />Christine: I've heard the notebook thing many times, I used to swear by it. But what do you do when you're driving or running around without one? Frustrating.<br /><br />VikLit: Welcome to the blogosphere. Hope you're enjoying yourself. I sometimes jot down ideas in a journal. But like I said, that's not always possible depending on the situation. And when I do get to a pen and paper I can't remember what it was I wanted to write!prerna picketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06207620652405474672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6864466917051288017.post-46526392443499607932012-06-26T14:23:08.081-07:002012-06-26T14:23:08.081-07:00I totally sympathise with the inspiration just as ...I totally sympathise with the inspiration just as I'm about to sleep issue!
