Inspiration is Fickle
WHAT is it about the shower?! I read somewhere that showers and driving are ultimate thinking and problem solving times because you're doing a brainless activity. Your mind is free to be elsewhere.

Granted, the ideas will come best when you step away from the computer/notebook and clear your head.. but how scary is it that driving is considered brainless? Or worse yet, that it's so TRUE?!

How many times have you all wondered how you made it from point A to point B because you cannot remember a thing about the trip, only what was on your mind.

I know someone who thinks sex with hubby is her best time to think. She says it's a pretty mundane activity. Since I wouldn't admit that even if it were true, and I don't want anyone to hear about my driving, I must admit the shower is the ultimate.

At any rate, I get so aggravated when I come up with a solution or new idea in the shower and there's no way to write it down. I can't scrawl it in shaving gel, since that would require you to actually be an avid leg shaver and have the stuff in the shower (sshh.. I don't even think my husband knows. When hair grows this long on a blonde, it's pretty soft).

I tried to go on strike, but I started to stink.

I was thinking about inventing a water proof mini recorder/ dual shower head for writers that turns on when you start babbling. I could sell the T-shirt too: "I'm a wet writer. Are you?".

It also makes for great black-mail when your unsuspecting guest starts singing show tunes in the shower. Hmm.. maybe I should add an optional camera attachment too.

I wish you all productive showers.
