Did you ever? November 7, 2007

Did you ever have a great idea for a blog post when you are somewhere it is not convenient to write the idea down (like driving) and then when you sit down to blog you can’t think of a thing to write about? This happens to me all the time.
In fact, the other morning while I was still half asleep, an idea came to me that I had forgotten from weeks ago. Good deal! Something to write about. Can’t believe I forgot that. But now I can’t remember it to save my life. It was a great topic though. Sigh…
Maybe someday I’ll remember what it was long enough to actually blog about it next time.
hey
it’s like you live in my head!
You crack me up!
lol….how well I know this sentiment…well, I only know it when I can remember it.
I hate waking in the middle of the night with a great plot, character, moral tussle, etc. If I write it down, I wake up…if I don’t write it down I wake up because I am so worried I’ll forget it by morning!
Why do we need sleep anyway! Supposedly it enhances our ability to remember things. I’m damned if I do and damned if I don’t! Why can’t we just have a memory stick in our ear when we sleep!!!!!! Perhaps pyjamas with a zip drive is a possibility too?
get a little tape recorder, it’ll be great, you’ll get home with a billion ideas, and then spend the rest of the evening in front of the PC. (then possibly realise it wasnt such a good idea after all)
Megan- So it’s not just me. Good Lord, the money I could make if I wrote down and published all my dreams! Really like the memory stick in our ear idea! Maybe in 50 years?
RedLeeroy- I have a little tape recorder. Never could get into the habit of using the darn thing. In any case, I wouldn’t be able to hear myself over my two boys. They would just think I was on the phone and start fighting for my attention-LOUDLY!
Yup, totally know the feeling.
