That's why I also carry a notepad and pen with me wherever I go.

If you ever read the book "Getting Things Done" you'll learn about how it allows us to become truly clearheaded in a way that most people haven't been since they were like... 12. You make a very good point about pressure to be fresh. I should write about it and call it "Fresh Pressure'... But seriously, creation is like giving birth. The infant wants out, but we must be careful lest it be premature. You may have noticed that I'm experimenting with video blogging, too – as well as other content like photography. Being a newer site, I don't feel the same amount of pressure that you must feel, but I anticipate that it will grow when my audience grows. Perhaps someday we'll be able to harness our lucid dreamstate into binary data, but until then it's all about finding a happy medium between creative fermentation and knowing when it's time. :) Yes, writing things down is key.

My mind takes it one step further to remind me when I have forgotten something in the middle of the day, and will wake me up in the middle of the night. I have only one chance to write it down because if I drift back to sleep I'll completely forget it until AFTER the point of the warning has passed, followed by smacking myself in the forehead. On the flip side, although I know that my creations might do better with a little sleep, I feel that I am under the constant pressure to produce something timely on my videoblog. I can't STAND to wait another moment to publish. If only I could sleep on it whilst producing it at the same time...
