Whenever I need ideas, I like to either take a long hot shower or soak in the tub. It's my Think Tank. To capture the ideas that come, I use a wet-erase marker to write on the tiles (in an area where the water doesn't hit the writing). I keep the marker near the tub so it will be there when I need it. Afterwards, I use paper and pen to write down the notes, then I erase the marker using a wet cloth. I can always tell how successful my Think Tank excursion is by the amount of notes scribbled on the tiles!
One time I was writing a story and used the Think Tank to brainstorm different ways one of the characters would accidentally kill a man. I realized my notes might look incriminating if someone else saw them.... knife? gun? sharp object? I've warned my husband that if I ever forget to erase my notes, don't think they are meant for him! hahahaha
