I always do this. In fact, ...Lovely piece, Elspeth. I always do this. In fact, I have a file on iMac, 'Ideas', that's bursting with ideas I want to develop. But I never allow the new ones to stop work on what I'm doing at that moment. I also have notebooks scattered throughout the house, with dedicated pens, so I can scribble down ideas that catch me away from the desk. And, for when I'm out of the house, I use a voice recorder. Those small voices won't catch me out! <br />On the odd occasions I've fooled myself that I'll remember and write down the idea later, invariably those ideas have vanished into the ether by the time I get round to it.stuartaken.nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05695584662320617659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-15685236923278982502014-03-05T15:37:13.594-07:002014-03-05T15:37:13.594-07:00Hearing voices is normal for writers...isn't i...Hearing voices is normal for writers...isn't it?Heidiwriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02593338979995203659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-28981428335845975842014-03-05T12:39:48.712-07:002014-03-05T12:39:48.712-07:00Now I'm worried you're worried.Now I'm worried you're worried.Elspeth Futcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10330102545384369360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-78580858916813901652014-03-05T12:38:07.546-07:002014-03-05T12:38:07.546-07:00Thanks!Thanks!Elspeth Futcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10330102545384369360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-53367762776113174642014-03-05T12:37:34.790-07:002014-03-05T12:37:34.790-07:00Thanks.
