Honestly, I want to write all the time! Finding the moments to put my thoughts to the page is what I struggle with. I spend most of my day working on freelance projects, cooking, caring for the kids, homeschooling, and the day-to-day, all while having these ideas perculating in my brain.
For the non-fiction stuff, like my homeschool books and articles, I jot down notes when I can. For fiction stuff, like my horror or dark fiction, I try to take voice notes with my phone so I can articulate the mood or vibe I want to convey.
It may take a few hours or even a day before I can sit down and get to work, but I can usually pick up where my brain was when it got a great "aha" moment and get it written. My best ideas are still in the shower. I don't think I'm alone with that trend.
