I've been doing some of my best thinking in the shower lately. The last couple of mornings I had "Aha!" moments while shampooing my hair and went straight to my office after I dried off to jot down some ideas in the notepad I keep next to my computer.
My epiphanies related to the story that I've been working on and have been alternately in love with and frustrated by. I had a couple of twists in the story as I originally envisioned it, but I couldn't work out the kinks. Well, I figured out a couple of ways to align the plot points and now I think the story will flow together nicely.
It feels good to have jumped over a major hurdle, now I just have to find the time to write the story as I see it in my head while my main character is still talking to me. I've been hearing her voice a little more clearly lately, but I've also had a hard time finding the hours in the day that I need to dedicate myself to writing at home.
Speaking of which, it's time to read bedtime stories to Jack -- one of my favorite things in the world. But I made a promise to myself to keep jumping over those writing hurdles tonight, so I'll be back at it shortly.
