Creativity

Creativity is fickle.

The best ideas I've had in the last month for This Doesn't Feel Like the Future have come either in my sleep or when I wasn't thinking about the book at all.

In my sleep, I worked out plot issues that had been troubling me for months. It was multiple thoughts that stitched themselves together overnight.

Today, when I was driving to the pool, I suddenly had two sentences in my head that evoked a precise emotion I was having difficulty conveying.

When I desperately need an idea, it's usually nowhere to be found. Creativity is one of those things you only find when you're not looking for it.
