So the next time you can’t sleep because the Idea Gerbil is running on the hamster wheel and he refuses to stop, do what I do. Get out of bed and write it down.
If you’ve never tried the “old-school” notebook and pen method, I encourage you to pick up a notebook from your local dollar store and give it a try for 30 days.
For this reason alone, a notebook and pen beside your bed is a great tool to add to your author toolkit.
