Writing Down Ideas

If you like to write and get inspired in a very unlikely place, often you can just look in the glove compartment of your car for a napkin to write on or you can write on a napkin in a restaurant or fast foods place. For example, JK Rowling it is said wrote in a laundromat in Edinburgh, Scotland and in restaurants while babysitting her child while things were not going well for her financially at that time and she was a single mother. And just look at her now. She is the most financially successful writer of all time in the world ever. And yet, she started out writing as a single mother while babysitting her daughter even when she didn't have a job. And she wrote the first Harry Potter book.

When I was in Edinburgh walking back to my hotel which I think was called the Raddison from Edinburgh Castle, I saw many of the locations that gave life to her book. And even if you look at Edinburgh Castle from a distance it reminds one of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry if you put it in a different setting.

So, whenever you get inspired don't forget to write down whatever you get that inspires you, even if it is a dream or a vision. You never know when that dream or vision might help another person or even save a life on down the line. And one of the persons that writing or idea might save is you or your pocketbook, as well as other people's lives.
