Congratulation...I have notebooks and sticky notes.<br /><br />Congratulations on your article. Highlights has been around for years & is highly respected so it's an excellent writing credit. It's also great that you received such an obvious acceptance w/ the word CONTRACT on the outside of the envelope!notesfromnadirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09904500676081267972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4206355073837906221.post-87610939252023370402010-10-09T07:51:28.175-07:002010-10-09T07:51:28.175-07:00yay - congrats julie on your accepted article!

Whenever I get an idea I put it there, even if it's just the name of a character or a title of a story. I also always keep a small notebook in my purse in case the idea strikes when I'm away from my computer.<br /><br />And I agree with Connie - I often get ideas at night as I'm (trying) to fall asleep. Then I have to write them down right away, because they are never as potent if I wait until morning.Julie Hedlundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477115458570906449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4206355073837906221.post-40931860104972447002010-10-04T17:53:49.026-07:002010-10-04T17:53:49.026-07:00Great post!
