As I was lying in bed last nite, in that weird not-quite-asleep state (I was waiting for my son to come home from his 4 hr Auxiliary Police shift) when the thought for a damn good blog post occurred to me. I really liked it. I know I did, because working it out in my head helped keep me awake.

Wow. You have a son who is an auxiliary police officer? I'm impressed!

ReplyDeleteBack when i was actively trying to write fiction (this is in the days micro-cassette recorders) i used to have a recorder next to my bed for such moments.
I figured I'd wait a few weeks before listening to all the entries, and when i did listen, the recorder ate the tape. Wasn't meant to be ;)
Oh man, that sucks. Hope the idea comes back to you. Hate when that happens.
