I recently read the following quote from Lorrie Moore to the effect that the difference between a writer and a non-writer is that a non-writer thinks they'll remember it later. This was a huge provocation to me and now if I think it, and even bing to say to myself that I'll remember it later (or that I should), then I immediately write it down somewhere, anywhere.
