[Anthony G Williams]

Most of my ideas come to me when I'm lying in bed: basic inspiration often comes from dreams, but the real value is in follow-up thoughts as I'm half-asleep or just about awake. This often happens in the middle of the night, so as well as a notebook beside my bed I have one of those pens with its own built-in light, so I don't have to turn the light on and possibly wake my wife - an important consideration in preserving marital harmony!
