It is an excellent idea to have paper and pen close by at all times, because you never know when the ideas will come. I've discovered that many of my best ones come after I go to bed at night...finally all the day's noise and traffic are cleared from my brain and it comes up with all sorts of good ideas. I've learned to keep a notebook and pencil on the headboard so I can write them down so they won't be forgotten.

I have performed this task since the late 80s! To any creator this is a MUST!

Matt,

This is absolutely true. I do the same as you. Paper & pen at my bedside, on the coffee table, in my car, you name it. Sometimes even in the bathroom because I find that's the best place for thinking.
