This really reminds me of something I read by Van Vogt. He was explaining
the techniques he used when he wrote. Apparently all writers have these
kinds of "recipes". Hemingway said everything he needed was martinis and
to write 2 hours _every_ day. Van Vogt explained that he used to set up his
alarm clock at something 3am. He would then wake up, write down his dreams
and work a little afterwards. He would then go back to sleep, and the following
day he would just reread that and try to write something interesting out of it.
He said that was where most of his ideas came from. Apparently he did that
every night.
