But while I was writing it, an idea for a feature hit me hard.

He looked up, an idea hitting his head square on.

Here the idea for a version of the Madonna hit developed.

But it is clear the idea has hit a nerve.

And then, like a glass of water thrown into his face, the idea hit him.

Fortunately, these ideas usually only hit him when he was alone.

An idea had hit me very hard at the School.

The idea hit Grant with the force of a physical blow.

The idea hit me one day when I was walking down the street.

I guess that idea hit Pete and me at the same time too.
