“You get ideas all the time. The only difference between writers and other people is we notice when we’re doing it.” — Neil Gaiman
(And – here’s the big part, folks – they write them down. Not sure why they chose this quote for the Cryptoquote. It wasn’t a difficult solve, and it’s just not very memorable, or significant, in my book. Nice doggie though! Be well, notice your ideas, and do good, friends.) — YUR

A great weapon on any writer’s arsenal is taking down dreams. I can’t remember how many times I’ve fought against fatigue and got up and took notes of what I’d just dreamed. No masterpieces to speak of, mind you, but always something to work on, as opposite to have no ideas at all. So many writers, musicians, artists have tapped on this apparently endless source of original (and not so) material. As someone have said, the worst it may happen is that the idea actually sucks. Most of mine did, anyway. But that’s life, I guess. Gaiman, on the other hand, is an inspired writer and artist, regardless if he takes down his dreams or not. Cheers
