The real writer experience is standing in the shower and coming up with the most authentic dialogue with perfect phrasing and raw emotion in your head, then stepping out and drying your hair, putting on some clean pajamas and opening a word document to write down all your perfect ideas only to realize everything has evaporated.
I FEEL CALLED OUT
Never lose a perfect shower line again.*
*Remember to erase promptly if you share a bathroom with anyone.
I’ve used these to outline term papers. nothing like a bath to get your brain to finally kick into gear and figure out your damn thesis
WHAT
Also these handy little guys if you prefer a notepad:
Are you kidding, shower crayons are the BEST when you share a bathroom with other people. When I was in college, we had them and we would use them to carry on philosophical debates, finish song lyrics, get life/writing advice, etc. It was so much fun and I miss it.
Oh my GOD no one told me these existed
Also
God fucking bless the people who made these
Going back into the shower (you don’t need to turn it on) can be enough to retrieve the memory
Our brains refresh every time we go through a doorway. It packs away the data from the room we left so it can load up the floor plan of the room we’re going into. If you go back to the room where you had the thought your brain will often unpack the memory when it’s loading up the floor plan
are you telling me i can’t remember info bc my brain is rendering???
Yes, kind of? It’s more like…like certain memories are wired together in your brain so triggering one (the memory of being in the shower) pulls up other related memories (that brilliant idea you had). So it’s more like those ads that pop up based on your browsing history. It’s all about context-influenced memory.
