Shiny Writerbrain Is Shiny

Aww. My writerbrain exploded again.

I got stuck in Chapter 18 again, and then at lunch I was reading Justine Musk's Lord Of Bones and thinking about a particular plot point in my own novel, and then an idea struck my writerbrain and the writerbrain exploded and began gibbering, flailing, and flooding the rest of my brain with Lots of Words and Fantastic Concepts and New Ways To Screw With The Characters and Hey Let's Do This It'll Be Fun.
I'm gathering up the pieces and will put them back together when I get home. Then I'll give my writerbrain a soothing mug of rooibos tea and a kitten, and get to writing.

I have all weekend.

This should be good.

Oooh, the pieces are sparkly...

LOL, at least it happened when you have the whole weekend to work on it. I always have these GREAT ideas when I'm in the shower, running late to get somewhere.

I need to get a whiteboard in my shower, LOL.

Gods, don't you hate that? I used to get them at work so frequently I would start crying. Because I'd be working and I couldn't just stop what I was doing to write it down.

This happens to me too! I try to take a moment to write down the ideas or keywords at least, before the end of the day.

This weekend I got such an influx of ideas that would significantly change what I'm writing, but sadly, that didn't translate into putting actual words down (apart from within the "planning" section of my document). Sometimes I just want my brain to shush up and let me write!
