I find myself lying in bed awake, new ideas for a book running through my mind. When I get up to write, I feel like I’ve lost it. The ideas that were flowing in streams of fluent thought are no longer; they’re now fragmented pieces.

Does anyone else have this problem? I have several ideas for a book, but somehow the proper way to string them together just escapes me. I can’t seem to flesh out the story and instead am left with a lot of details.

How do you shape your writing so that it becomes a story and not just ideas on a page? How do you get your creative juices flowing? When/where are you most creative? What's your writing style – do you just throw all you ideas onto paper and then start to flesh them out, or do you go with one idea and see where it leads you?

The only words I can remember are: "look at the people in automobiles in the traffic jam..."

I think the Bee Gees sang it, but I can't figure out what the name of the song is. Any help is appreciated!

Is anyone else voting, or just watching the show? I'm voting for Travis. I can't stand to see him in the bottom like last week. My top two picks to win So You Think You Can Dance are Travis and Benji. They're both wonderful dancers and have great personalities to match.

I remember watching this movie when I was a kid (in the 80's). All I can remember of the movie was there was a teenage boy (the main character) and he was drag racing to prove himself. He ends up getting stuck in the car and it goes over the cliff. There's also an escalator that goes up to heaven. Ring any bells? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
