you know when...

you know when you think up a line, a strophe, whatever, and then think to yourself 'i'll remember that, it's so good how could i possibly forget it?' then repeat the line(s) to yourself a few times... you know when that happens? it happens to us all.

and then you know when, the next day you're sitting at the computer ready to write something but nothing is coming to you and then you slap your forehead and remember that you thought you'd remember that great line? you remember it's great but can't remember even the most remote aspect otherwise. don't you just hate that?

yaaaa that sucks...not as bad as a computer crash after you've done a first draft though :(

that's what just happened to "the stretch" but...it'll be back.

get a mini notepad and a golf pencil... except be careful while driving... that's usually when it happens to me.

i have a lil pda that i like but its not as trusty as a blank sheet of paper.
