I got hit with the inspiration to write today while shampooing my hair this morning.

NO JOKE.

All of a sudden I could see opening sentences to my introduction essay, and then I was seeing an opening sentence to my essay on American Idol.

It’s like I was having a writing premonition, but I had errands to run, so I jotted down a couple notes, then went about my business.

I got through my introduction essay earlier tonight. Right now I am working on an essay entitled, “American Idol Stole My Life…Again!” Basically my ode to AI. And small odes to Clay Aiken, Blake Lewis and David Cook.

Speaking of Blake Lewis. It only took a year, but I finally got the chance to meet him a couple weekends ago! He’s super nice and gracious. Probably one of the most down-to-earth “celebrities” I have ever met. He’s a cool dude.

Anyways, I was talking to my dad earlier this afternoon and he asked me about my plans, and I was like, “It’s a writing day. Inspiration hit, I have to write today.”

Seriously, when inspiration comes knocking, you answer the door.

I mean, even though, I spent some moments just watching the curser blink at me, I feel very accomplished.

Like a writer.
