And they don't lock us up in rubber rooms.

Great post Laura.

I play "What If" games too, about whatever I observe or read or watch.

Ha! Saw this after I wrote the reply to Denise! I envy you all the ideas, Fae, but the only ones that stay are the ones we get written, right?

Ah, the falling asleep ideas, Denise. They are awesome. Getting up to write them down before you forget? Not as fun, huh?

Talia, but yay for it happening, right? Fae gets tons of new book ideas - she's afraid she won't get them all written! I'm not like that. Oh, I've always gotten one (eventually), but my ideas are an Easter Egg hunt, not a turned on faucet!

Truth, Chris - you know no strangers! (me either). Love hearing where you got the ideas for those books, I never knew that!

Or right before the freeway exit I'm supposed to take--and I drive past it. My best ideas usually come with a laugh, as if it's too silly to really be an idea for a book or a blog. Oh--thank you for the quote from Orson Scott Card! And you know me (too well!). I have so many ideas, I'll need to set a record for oldest living woman to finish half of them, so no worries there. Okay, going back to my little dream world now...

I try really hard to remember. Of course, some come in the night when I'm trying to sleep, like a voice calling out, except it's all in my head.
