it was a DVD, actually.
DrygonDM:
DVDs and Blu-Rays - and even Computer-compatable Disks - also come in handy.

Exactly! If you look around carefully enough, you might track down a copy of the original "Buckaroo Banzai" novel, in which the author (Earl Mac Raouch, as the spine of the book four feet from my chair tells me) points out that Dr. Banzai has gotten his most nifty ideas in the Bathroom, the Bedroom and on the Bus. (something about the prevalence of negatively-ionized air in those areas...) Therefore, notebooks and writing implements are always close to hand in all three of these critical areas. Of course, this was before the advent of cell phones with sound-recorder capacity, so you could just dictate into that (and try your luck with crappy sound quality).
Take a tip from Buckaroo, kids: keep paper and pen or a recorder handy whenever possible! The story idea you save could be the one that catapults you to wealth and fame! Or at least into the next higher tax bracket...

Hello All!!
My name is Jim Grace and I an working on my first full-length novel, Descent Into Darkness. (Technically I'm finishing the first draft of my first book while I work on my second.) It's a modern-day Vampire/Zombie story loosely based on the Vampires Live iphone game.
I can see I've got a LOT of posts to catch up on here! It's awesome to find such a creative bunch of folks!
Great to see you all here!
JG

We look forward to seeing you around.
