Nice knowing you. But if you are waiting for that perfect idea to strike like lightning during a dust storm (I live in New Mexico), you could be waiting a long time. Ideas are everywhere. EVERYWHERE. I can’t walk to the bathroom without being hit with another idea. It’s what you DO with that idea that matters. Here is your mantra: BICHOK, BICHOK, BICHOKTranslation: Butt in chair, hands on keys.

But I say write them all down anyway.","author":"Anne Lamott","tags":["ing","book-ideas","getting-an-idea","idea","ideas","write","writer","writing","writing-ideas"],"id":400539,"author_id":"Anne+Lamott"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":4,"pages":1}}
