MerryAnne, those are the really good ones.
The ones that don't stop pulling on your sub-conscious until they get put on paper.

I've had some stories like that
that just linger in the back of my mind then suddenly assert themselves and demand to be written. So I write them and most times they turn out pretty darn good!

Anna,
it happened to me more often than I care to think about and still it happens to me now and then.

Word,
You give great advice!!! All too often great thoughts come to me when I am right in the middle of trying to get something else done...and all to often when i sit down to actually write them down they are gone....lol...figures, huh???

We should learn to capture them when they come and
put them to use. I imagine that many a best seller got started just like that.

i always talk about the characters running around in my head, bumping into each other. i don't mean that in a skitsophrenic way at all, just simply that there are always stories there, ideas being born, words taking on lives of their own.

i can't imagine not being a writer.

not loving words... its amazing, isn't it? the rush? the endorphines? the high from thinking, and producing words....
