@Cali Aw, dear, thank you! I love the mixture of bills, beer coasters, etc. with notes on them. That is a true inspirational artist, I like to say. Let's get together soon! Thanks for sharing!!

It's clearly impossible for you to share anything that isn't brilliant. {No pressure. }

Heavens. I have scraps of paper, beer coasters, gum wrappers and torn-up bill envelopes that have bits and pieces of ideas or words or drawings. I keep a journal (okay I keep, like, three) and index-size notecards with me at all times. I use the notes feature on my iPhone. And of course various word docs on my computer. Organized inpsiration.

I lurve that you include stewing an idea. That's critical in my process–most of the time.

YOU = inspiring.

@Ashleyyyyy Yes! The Europe example is perfect. It's so important to write down those little details, besides photos, how will we remember the way the food market smelled, your hostel mate's laugh or the way the wine tasted

I am totally there with the excitement and tingles but I have a REALLY bad habit of not witing down my ideas and then completely forgetting what it was. I need to get better at carrying a notebook around with me to jot all these things down.

I do have a journal at home where I write all sorts of different inspirational stuff and just about whats going on in my life because i tend to forget the little stuff. I never really did this though until I went to Europe and it was so fulfilling to have it then and now even more so to look back on. Great post!

This is just the post I needed. Inspiration always comes to me in the shower and I feel so determined to do things…but by the time I get out and get changed I kind of lose it. Strange! I definitely need to start listening to myself more and writing things down. Thanks!

@Laura I love hearing about your notebooks. I love mine too. As geeky and digital as I am, hard copy and writing pen to paper will never be replaced to me. Thanks for sharing, Laura
