While going through some of my archives last night, in full-on Reminiscence Mode, I came upon a couple of old posts that are actually still pretty good. Take a look at this one: Had It A Minute Ago.

It’s more than two years old, now, but if you’re new to the site, it’s new to you. An excerpt:

This is why I should keep a notebook by the bed all the time. A notebook is actually a bird cage, a little brass bird cage, where you can lock up any starlings you catch between your cupped hands during the night.

I’d completely forgotten that I wrote this one, but I think it still works. For sure, though, the thing that it’s about? Still happens to me. If you’re a writer, I’ll bet it happens to you, too.
