Because as much as we trust our minds to keep those golden ideas we have for stories or songs and the like.. sometimes we forget. And I tell you it is the most unsatisfying, upsetting feeling when you forget such an amazing idea.
You could be anywhere.. on a bus, on a train, on a plane.. but an idea can just pop in your mind and at least if you jot it down, you have a recollection of the idea.. so when you get indoors, you can sit down and re-read, gather all your details and create your masterpiece of a song and a story.
Have you ever had such a vivid dream and when you woke up.. you forgot everything about that dream? I personally keep a dream book by my bed.. and as soon as I wake from the dream, I write it.
You never know.. all of these things can take us somewhere we never could imagine.
Remember.. Paul McCartney from the Beatles heard the melody of 'Yesterday' in a dream and it became one of the biggest songs for the Beatles!
So writers.. don't forget that trusty notebook!
