Don't Let the Big One Get Away

Have you ever been driving down the road and hit a wonderful song idea head on?  You start writing it in your head; you sing it over and over again; you try to burn it on the walls of your memory; then all of a sudden you get a sick feeling as you begin to fear that the song will take the next exit as you drive on trying to remember the lyrics; trying to recall the tune!!!

Yes... potentially this could be the song that changes lives forever (yours included) and you DO NOT want it to get away!!!  What do you do?  Let me ask you this... do you have a cell phone?  If you don't I would have to wonder who's computer you're using to surf the web?  So, let's just go ahead and assume that you do have a mobile phone.  If you take the time to look in the settings you'll, more than likely, find a voice recorder.  USE IT!  No need to spend the money on a micro-recorder... you probably already have one laying right there in the cup holder!  Sure, it may only record about fifteen seconds at a time but that is often plenty of time to sing a verse or chorus.  This feature has saved me a multitude of times and I'm sure it will make your writing experience a bit less stressful!
