The Paradigm of Process (Mine)

[akirlu]

Pretty much how my writing brain works: I have a major revelation. About the metaphysics of vampires. And how they relate to demons, angels, and gods. And how all of this is just an instantiation of Thomist metaphysics, and accounts for the problem of vampire souls and disappearing gods in my story.

Inevitably, this occurs in a location where I am totally out of contact with the means to write stuff down as I think of it. Sometimes I'm in the shower. Sometimes I'm on an elevator. Or a very bumpy bus ride. This time, I was on the toilet. Okay, I guess there was paper. But no.

I would start carrying pen and paper everywhere I go, but my fear is, then I would stop having ideas altogether.
