*moment of inspiration comes

what do you do when you get the idea?

don't memorialize the idea too fast (set in stone), instead, live with it. See how long I can tease it out.

Practice keeping the idea flowing. Live in the possible for as long as I can. Gather the what ifs.

Then download the ideas. Lose some of the ideas, but learned to trust the leaves that fall off.

Learn by playing. See yourself in the story and feel bigger.

Usually happens when not at home.
