The biggest ideas that ever wake me up are grocery list items, knitting patterns, and recipes. Still, I look forward to the Next Small Idea, and I've never had to argue with one yet.

Natalie, I've often thought that your descriptions of your creative process and work habits sound just like me: the procrastination, the sustained bursts of energy, the tendency to do my best work while actively procrastinating on something else... No. That’s just what it wants!

Feels like you've been listening in! Sometimes, I have even given in to their promptings and I have the scars (and the voluminous files) to show for it. The thing is, some people who followed those 'voices' to the ends of the earth (one-track minded, of course) actually did achieve something worthwhile. Are you going to reveal what your BI voice was suggesting?
