Ideas Down the Drain

Before Christmas came, I was trying to explain to my mom and my sister how they had these waterproof notepads for the shower (hint, hint) so that you could write your ideas down if/when they come. Sometimes, you’re just hit like lightning with the perfect sentence or poem or line of dialogue when you’re bathing (more often than not, I’ve noticed, since it’s such a nice quiet time for reflection) and you have to get it down quick. Usually, I end up forgetting everything entirely by the time I’m out of the shower, so that would’ve made the perfect gift.

But they just laughed at me and thought the concept was ridiculous. They just don’t understand. :(
