Day 41: "Thinking about it all day"

"Shirley Jackson, as the mother of four children and wife of a college professor, rarely had time to write during the day. Yet when she sat down at her desk at night, a story like “The Lottery” flowed out in a perfect first draft. Why? Because she had been thinking about it all day. Count on your subconscious taking charge and “working over” ideas that come to you during the day."

(Gee, google isn't connecting right; I hope this one can be posted on time.)

Yea, I do that. I thought about this story during the day, especially when I have to be somewhere that is boring and/or time consuming, and I have nothing else to do.
