The real writer experience is standing in the shower and coming up with the most authentic dialogue with perfect phrasing and raw emotion in your head, then stepping out and drying your hair, putting on some clean pajamas and opening a word document to write down all your perfect ideas only to realize everything has evaporated. 

IF THIS HAPPENS TO YOU:

• Say the line/words in the shower
  
• Repeat them
• If you have your phone with you, dictate them into a message for yourself
• If you don’t have your phone, continue repeating the words until you can get to SOME means of note taking. Repeat the words out loud until they are preserved for posterity
• It doesn’t have to be your word processor
• Do all of this in just a towel if you have to

Yes your family/housemates will think you’ve gone gonzo, but that’s what they get for cohabiting with a writer. Your dignity is not worth more than forgetting the best word combo ever.

Shower-born ideas are the fucking BOMB and you shouldn’t let petty things like not letting anyone see you naked interfere with that gold. Eureka moments are that way for a GD reason.
