It might look like gibberish to you, but it's brilliant to me.
In this crazy experience of writing for fandom, I've taken away one very important lesson. Write It Down.
I don't care if you're half-asleep, convinced that if you repeat that perfect sentence two dozen times you'll remember it in the morning, or too lazy to reach over and grab a sheet of paper or your phone...WRITE IT DOWN.
If you're in the shower, and the most stunning turn of phrase hits you...get a towel and WRITE IT DOWN. Or, if you're in the middle of shampooing, repeat it over and over again out loud until you're done.
If you're driving, get to a red light and text it to yourself.
Because if you don't, you are never ever in a million turns of the earth going to remember and it will haunt you. FOREVER.
That might be a little dramatic, but OMFG you will be so pissed when you remember that you had a brilliant thought, but can't actually remember what it was.

Happens so many times and I still don't learn.
"Write it down" should be my new mantra. Oh wait, it already is. I need to buy a new notebook, my old one of 10 years is finally all full.
