OK, I know that I have heard it before---"it" being the idea that all great ideas are continually floating around the universe and at some point, decide to land in a receptive brain.

Not sure if I believe that or not, but then how do I explain a story idea that hits just before sunrise on any given day? Sure, that period of sleep may be more conducive to reception, or there is simply no time to forget the images.

It is kind of freaky/fun on those occasions when this happens. This morning I came down to my office and wrote some notes on index cards.

We'll see where this takes me!
