Oops!

Just noticed my little type-o...

An added comment: I need to get one of those mini tape recorders! Do you know of any really good ones?

I almost ALWAYS have pen & paper with me
But still, it seems that whenever I have one of those EUREKA ideas, it happens to be one of those rare times that it's one of those rare times that I can't write it down. Usually, it's when I'm driving and I have to concentrate on not becoming one with the pavement!

Aw, they always come back sooner or later...
Everytime I wanted to write a poem, I would grab a post-it note, a napkin, anything and write on it.  Well, my friends got tired of this nonsense and all bought me journals and little books to write in.  I filled them up immediately and now am back on the prowl for loose paper. LOL!

I'm not too worried.
I try to not get attached to ideas too much, because I like to think I'll always have more.  It doesn't always happen of course, but you got to roll with the punches.  There's nothing more sure than not having any ideas if I carry a pen and paper around with me though.

I do that, but the rest of the time finds me hunting for the papers!

I got me a recorder, so I just talk to it when I get an idea!

Definitely, write it down.

I think most of us
can relate to this. What really bad is when there isn't a scrap of paper or a writing utensil to be found...
