Oh boy. How do you capture ideas for writing?
Sometimes it's like herding cats, especially when a whole bunch of ideas stampedes through my brain! I write them down as fast as I can, but they slip through my fingers like sand. UGH. At least I'm usually able to keep hold of a few.
Sometimes, I can't find them at all. That's when I set the timer and just start writing about anything, or nothing, or how I can't conjure up anything to write.
The 31 Days of Five Minute Free Writes has been helpful. Just grab a word and see what pops into your brain. After October ends, I think I'll come up with my own list of words, and then write down ideas as fast as I can!
Maybe I'll be able to capture a few.

Have you friends suggest 3 or 4 apiece. Keep a very, very small note book in your purse and when an idea hits you, write it in the book. Make a generous notation, though, 'cause sometimes later a stingy one won't make sense. Ask me how I know? Wink-wink!
ReplyDeleteStingy notes? You? Never!!! LOL!
