Bethany: Shhhh… I’ve got an idea!
I get ideas anytime and anywhere. This latest idea, just as I was ready to fall asleep while nursing my daughter last night. Only problem with that–is that new ideas energize me. So much so, they consume my brain and sleeping in NOT an option.
Much to my dismay, last night at midnight, I spend over an hour jotting down ideas, character sketches, plot lines I knew about, possible titles, and even a few e-mails to critique partners soliciting a few initial thoughts, etc. Well, I have 5 pages of hand written notes for a new project. One I likely will have to back burner for a while–but one I have documented enough, I can jump back in at any time. Which I love.
I can’t wait to get started!

I know exactly what you mean. The more inspired I am, the less sleep I get, and when I do finally fall asleep, my dreams often continue to serve as the source for many of my characters and plot lines. I keep a journal by bedside for just that purpose.
