Meike (they/them)Is it just me, #writingcommunity getting ideas for new books just before bed... then not able to get to sleep as I work out the details of the world.? #sigh
ladyteruki@meiketorkelson : and forgetting half of it by the time you wake up tomorrow, yes, that is the way.
@ladyteruki Why I had to write down the basics in an email to myself
@meiketorkelson : I wish I were that smart.
@ladyteruki alas the problem is it stops me going to sleep... hence feeling wrecked
@meiketorkelson : one could conclude that writing is torture.
@ladyteruki Oh, we do put ourselves through hell for our art.
Himantra@meiketorkelson yup, my fatal flaw is getting an idea in that half-awake/half-asleep state, being worried if I move I'll be wide awake again, and telling myself "just remember this tomorrow morning." Then ofc forgetting it completely. 😅
@himantra Yeah - I decided I needed the loo and emailed myself the basics notes
Kerry she/her@meiketorkelson I do that too.Sigh.
