method – 5- Ideas

A word, a sentence, or a thought comes to mind, or I have an idea. I jot it down on a strip of paper, date it, and note the exact time. This can happen in the middle of the night. Then I tuck the strip of paper into my work journal. Just as the traffic lights on a highway guide me on my nighttime drive, I follow these ideas and finally write something down.
