I have a fairly boring job that doesn't require much attention, so I'll frequently think about stories ideas and scenarios while I'm working. I just never get around to writing them down and sharing them. I really thought starting this blog would motivate me to write more, but it hasn't.
Anyway, I'm thinking of posting the occasional "thought of the day" type of thing, just to keep the blog active. And of course, if I ever get around to working on my stories some more, I'll post what I have once I get somewhere.
Late response, but I know the struggle. It's easy to let your mind wander when you're on the job. Then you come home, and you've already burned up your brainpower on it, and you'd like to do something else to occupy your thoughts, and/or you're too tired from work to want to do more work writing everything down, and other distractions shove themselves into your brain space.
ReplyDeleteSomething I'll try to do if I get the chance, if an idea hits me at work and I really need to get it down, is to pull out my phone and sneak in a few lines or a quick summary onto my voice recorder or onto GDocs. Then, at least, even if I don't get around to expanding on the idea for a while, I have it down to pick up from later.
