I was sat in the office around 10am this morning, discussing films and shows with colleagues then suddenly I get a moment of inspiration that will help my current screenplay at the end of act 1 to give - what I think - is an excellent plot point to build the story and take it in a slightly different direction. As I write this I have 3 hours left of my shift and I cannot wait to get home to write this. It's given me such an adrenaline rush. I love these moments!

I also carry a small notebook and pen in my back pocket everywhere I go, for that exact reason Alex Winstanley! And I have a notebook on my nightstand and in my purse, just in case.
