I’m just going to quickly put this thought down so I can
- Go hop in the shower
- Keep reading this book and not worry about forgetting this statement.
The thought is this — “If you’re not holding a pen right now, go get one. Inspiration comes unannounced.”
It’s found in the opening pages of a book by Scott Ginsberg (That Guy with a Nametag) called “Make a Name for Yourself”. I’m just starting to read the book after finding his blog on a blogroll somewhere and being entranced by it (Note: You can access Scott’s blog from my blogroll which is in the right column of the page.)
I just found this statement to be so completely true. I can’t count the number of times I’ve had a fantastic idea while in the middle of a class at RIT or standing in the checkout line at Wegmans, wishing I had some way to capture it before it would be replaced by the task at hand and be gone forever.
I’m not suggesting that I become the woman with the pad and pen (although that might get me some publicity …) but I do want to keep that statement emblazoned on my brain because it just resonated with me.
Ok, thought recorded. On to shower and church.
Until the next post …
