Grab some paper and write.
I've given up on being keyboard-centric when it comes to working on fiction, until it becomes time to polish it. In the meanwhile, if ideas flow from my mind to a notebook or pad of paper or the corner of a fast food napkin, so be it. I used to write in longhand quite a bit as a teen, when typing meant banging the keys of a manual typewriter and battling ribbons and carbon paper. (If you're too young to remember those as anything but cute vintage items, you're lucky.)
I've managed to steal a few minutes for writing this evening, so this entry will be short. I hope you're writing too, if you can, and I really hope you're writing if you must, because not writing if you must will dwarf your spirit and make life less fun. So find a blank space and go to it.
