Inspiration
In my experience, inspiration often turns up late at night, often after watching a good movie. You watch yourself doing something, add a speaker voice and a purpose and think "this would make a great scene in a movie".
Another thing that seems to get my thoughts going is playing some not overly complex game. Martin and I did today, coming up with some great ideas in the process. Having my eyes, hands and ears occupied can get my thoughts going. Perhaps this is why people smoke ... It's like entertaining my body to stop it from getting bored while my brain is working ... Stuff like Lotus III and Tetris work great for these purposes. Music can, as in many other cases, also help.
I have started to try and do something of those moments, it's usually a good idea, they normally don't remaian after a night's sleep. Right now, I've just seen Dick Tracy, and everything I do seems to fit perfectly into a film with some editing.
So, I thought "I'll just sit down at the computer and try get something written down."
And here I am ... It's all about "carpe diem-ing" really.
