Oddest Times for Inspiration

I always seem to come up with the best blog post themes and inspiration when I am the furthest away from my computer. Like when I am in the shower, in my car or in the middle of the night when I have to get out of bed to pee. The next free minute I have available to actually post anything here....each and every inspiration I had somehow seems to have disappeared.....poof!
I know I could and should carry a notepad or something around with me to jot down some of the stuff I come up with at those most inconvenient of moments......but I tried that once with a sticky note....and next day couldn't make heads nor tails of what I was trying to remind myself of. If I didn't have to wake up early to take care of my son, I would probably run into the computer room and just write, then & there, what so eloquently has entered my brain while walking to and from the loo. But I love my sleep too much and my son loves waking up early too much.....not a good combo for middle of the night writing sessions.
Man, I'm hoping sometime soon I am gonna be able to retain some of those jewels to post on here.......

I SO have the same problem
I get a lot of ideas in the shower. Not only for the blog, but for stuff I'm actually getting paid to write. I do my best to NOT write them in my head, because the best version for me is the first. Once the thought gets put into words, my brain rests. Even if the words don't get put on paper.
I'm beginning to think I'm a little weird.

i totally know what you mean!
that's how it works for me too! i will think of a topic and then the words just start flowing in my mind....but once i try to get it on paper (or computer) it's just not there anymore! and my first version is also the best one for me....even in school i never wrote rogh drafts unless i was required to turn one in as part of the complete project. first is definitely best!
i dont think you are weird....well, actually, i think that i am pretty weird and we seem very similar in this....so maybe we are both weird. or maybe we are normal and everyone else is weird! LOLOL!

That must be it...
One of my editors asked me if I would send drafts of some articles so that the design person could get started on the layouts. I said, "uh, what drafts?" They said, "Outlines would be fine too." I said, "uh, what outlines." Tee hee!
