My bathroom muse always appears like a genie with the bulb
under the lavish stream of water and soapsuds.
Brilliant writing tips pop into my head
in a perfect plot, sequence and all.
Yet, once I sit at the desk
in an attempt to capture it all,
the fickle muse fizzles away
just like those soap bubbles.
Short of repeating the thoughts
mindlessly like a mantra in my head,
I guess I must start taking the notepad
into the shower as well 😉

The shower is a great place for inspiration, but not such a great place for note-taking. 🙂

Honestly, great ideas come there but flit away just as you settle down to write it.

I’ve come up with many of my best writing solutions while I’m in the shower. I never worry about writing myself into a corner — I just go shower myself out! 😉

Oh yes, I need a journal too. But oh, I pray I put it into practice, instead of wishful thinking
