I hit my brain on a cosmic tree branch.

[Boogus Epirus Aurelius]

I do my best thinking when I'm doing mundane shit.
I.E. Work.
I.E. driving
I.E Walking in the woods somewhere

I'll have a fantastic, fluid idea worked out in my head as I'm trucking away at work and by the time I've driven home to my apartment I'll have lost it.

It's like there's a narrator in my psyche that's burping out these really solid verses and I have no means to translate them to paper.

Occasionally when I have a mental flash I'll write something down on my hand or whatever's available to trigger it again later, but it doesn't work out as well as I'd hope.

Isn't it frustrating?
Isn't it?
Isn't?

I'd need to hire a secretary to sort through all the bullshit.

Luckily, I don't really have that problem most of the time...but I do with novel ideas. I don't know what it is about the novel medium that is so difficult for me. Like, I have no problem at all writing a quick poem down in my notebook right when I think it, and no real problem expanding/revising it later, either. Short stories also come out pretty naturally for me. And really, I mean any part of a novel - I usually can't even start one, let alone churn out a decent chapter, let alone a whole book.

Oh, and yeah, I carry a notebook around in some way just about everywhere that's on-campus, and always have it with me when I'm driving as well. So for a great portion of my life these days, I have a quick way to write something down.

Interesting how writing is getting brought up so much these days on Boyah. Obligatory "I wanna be a writer" plug.
