This Writer venting
One of the hardest things about being a writer who needs help to get in and out of bed (other than people thinking your work is “cute” and the inaccessibility of venues for fairs and the like) is what do when the muse strikes at some weird time, like 3AM, after you’ve been put to bed. Some people don’t care and will wake their assistants up to fetch a notebook or something.
I’m not that sort of person. I only wake someone up when I require serious help (bathroom, turning, and so on). At the same time, however, I don’t want those lovely midnight muse impulses to be forgotten.
My solution? I use my cell phone to record ideas on my voicemail and play them back in the morning.
