Creativity – The song in the shower

…or why the best ideas come when I’m naked or asleep. At least trying to sleep.
Who hasn’t had their best idea at the moment they can’t write it down? Can’t record it. Swear they’ll remember it and never can.
As a friend asks – who doesn’t take a notebook into the can?
The thing is when we relax our minds will travel. When we’re busy our minds will travel – more likely to keep us sane.
Sitting down forcing ourselves works once we have the starting idea. That’s all part of the creative process. But, for me, the creative spark has to come on its own.
Like the shower.
Like the bed.
…when I’m alone and unprepared.
