When, oh when will I learn? Dozing last night, I was struck by one of Terry Pratchett’s inspiration particles and had a solid plot concept for the upcoming Ogg Memorial event.

I should get up and write this down.


No. No need. It’s simple. You’ll remember.

I really should get up…

It’s okay…

But…. Zzzzzzz.

And guess what?

Crickets.

If only there were a Wayback Machine for the real life. ;)
Then again, who knows? Maybe one day we will start doing backups of our lives.
 
I hate doing that sooooo much
Stating the obvious, but have you tried retracing your thought steps and mood?
Hope you remember it
 
Was it truly you who wrote this post or was it...
*cue Twilight Zone theme*
Actingup- backup copy from 04/01/2025?
Yes but was it the 4th of January or the 1st of April.....? There's a huge credibility difference, and I'm trying to be the best version of me.

Heh, I wouldn't know. This is an older copy replying, and I can't be certain what a more recent copy wanted to say... unless it was that March the thirteenth bastard posting... - he might have been deliberately vague. The guy is a total prick, trust me. ;)
 
I heard a story once that a famous jazz musician, maybe Clark Terry but I’m not sure, did exactly what you wished you did: he woke up in the night with this gorgeous melody in his head, so he got up, went to the piano, worked it out, and wrote it down. The next morning he woke up, went to see what he wrote down, and it ended up being the verse to Stardust. He couldn’t believe it – he’d played that thing a thousand times! Maybe if you remembered your story you’d discover you already wrote it.

Were you in bed? Look under the bed. If it squeezed out one ear, hit the floor it ALWAYS rolls under the bed, and always to the exact center! It's...under...the...bed!

I come up with some of my best stuff laying in bed half asleep. And forget most of it by morning.
 
I will grab my phone and record the thought so I don't lose it.

However, sometimes that feeling of "Oh, yeah, this is it!" doesn't carry over to the next day, but I'm past the stage where I'll get up at midnight to write for an hour. I'm 57 today and too old for that shit. I need to sleep

I write comedy and I learned a long time ago....how to use the toilet. Much later, I realized that often I'll think of a joke upon watching something, etc. and as annoying as it can be to anyone else in the room/cellblock (so have that shank handy!) you have to hit the pause, get up and go WRITE THE IDEA...because yes, I will forget. I mean...what is it about me that makes me that way? And had me that blunt...fuckin'-a....pfffffttttttttttt. *cough*...*cough-cough-HACK-cough*
