David Carlson
I give my brain "permission" to be inspired by having a small notebook on me or, at night, by my bedside. Often when I am entering sleep or coming out of sleep I sense a way forward in my current writing project. I never tell myself that I don't have to jot it down because I'm sure to remember the idea in the morning. The truth is that when morning comes, the idea has flown out of mind like a bird.
