EVERYWHERE. I can’t walk to the bathroom without being hit with another idea. It’s what you DO with that idea that matters.

Some will float into your head like goldfish, lovely, bright, orange, and weightless, and you follow them like a child at an aquarium that was thought to be without fish.

But I say write them all down anyway.”
