When Ideas Come at the Wrong Time

[Rodel Barnachea]

I find keeping a small notebook and pen with me all the time is helpful. You can also just write those ideas in a notes app in your phone.

Nowadays mobile is the note book

Yes, I mostly write on my notes application instead on actual paper

This frequently happens to me in the middle of the night or just as I've settled into bed. I usually type out my thoughts on the Notes app of my phone and then transfer them the following morning. Sometimes, it's an entire plot, or maybe just some dialogue between two of my characters that is just too clever to chance forgetting. A few weeks ago, I was driving home from the store and the specific light and feel of dusk at that particular location took me back to a time in my youth. I felt inspired and wrote an entire poem on my Notes app. iPhones can be quite handy for writers in a pinch!

Haha, I feel like my head turns into an idea machine whenever I want to sleep at night. I think that those ideas are turned into dreams when I finally slept, but I always forget the moment I wake up.
