Then the moment passes.
And it's gone. The thoughts I was thinking. Vanished. Like so much smoke in the air. Leaving me with the knowledge that at some point I had a great idea. But now it's not even a memory.
Which is just so frustrating!
It happens with dreams also. I wake from a dream, realizing I should write about whatever it was I was just dreaming. Then I fall back asleep. By morning whatever it was which was so brilliant, so witty, so meaningful - has withdrawn back into my subconscious. Never to be recovered.
I would have way more posts written (and probably be far more entertaining) if I just remember all the great stuff I come up with when I am not anywhere around the computer!
I have the same problem. I write the most amazing things in my head! I have started using the voice memo function on my phone to transcribe my blog post thoughts as they come to my brain.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea!! I just got a phone with voice memo - I'll have to try putting that to good use! Thank you! Have a great weekend.
DeleteHere, here! You are very much not alone. I even took to writing these ideas down. But half the time I go back to them and can't remember (or figure out) how they were meant to be.
ReplyDeleteI am the same way! I need to start carrying around a notebook in my purse so that I can jot my ideas down as they come to me.
ReplyDeleteRight there with you!! I recently purchased a journal to keep in my purse so I can jot down ideas. We will see if this helps....
ReplyDeleteI used to do that. Then I started keeping a pen and paper by my bedside. I use my note pad on cellphone for notes when I am up an about.
ReplyDeleteI have exactly the same experience with wanting to write about something and then completely forgetting the idea I had.
