"You never have to change anything you got up in the middle of the night to write." - Saul Bellow
This quote is in an insomnia journal that I use on nights when I struggle to sleep.
The contents of dreams and the ideas and words that arise during rest and relaxation are things meant to written. They come from the subconsious. They are real. They are true. They are magical. I have had those moments where I sit up in bed and absolutely need to grab a pen and paper and write the thought down. Since the experience happens without intentionally thinking or writing, the thoughts are generally simple and precise. Little bits of truth. Flawless statments. There is no struggle or deciding which word works best. There is no editing or revising. A moment of clarity.
