You never know when your observations will become a best-seller. <em>Enjoy!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p><strong>Capturing Ideas<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I was on a panel of writers last year as part of an arts festival. <strong>I had been taking notes all through the discussion, my notebook and pen poised at every moment.<\/strong> Then one of the speakers said something along the lines of \u2026 \u2018I\u2019m not one of those nutty people who constantly have a notebook in their hands taking everything down.\u2019 The audience laughed as I casually tried to hide my notebook \u2026 and my red face.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My notebook is never far from me, or should I say notebooks<\/strong>. I\u2019ve got one beside my bed \u2013 which I scribble into in a haze of sleep and then try to understand my hieroglyphics the next day. I\u2019ve always got a pen and notebook in the car; plus one in my handbag and one in the laptop bag \u2026<\/p>\n<p>Now, you may be starting to side with the speaker at the arts festival and think I\u2019m the \u2018notebook\u2019 version of crazy cat lady \ud83d\ude42 but <strong>I\u2019m constantly gathering short phrases, jotting down ideas, even drawing sketches<\/strong> \u2013 and I\u2019m no artist. It\u2019s all fodder for stories and blog posts; most of it won\u2019t be used, but in there somewhere there\u2019s always a nugget I can work on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The other place I\u2019m always taking notes is on my phone.<\/strong> The notes section of my phone is full of bits and bobs of ideas. Every so often I gather them up and pop them in the computer; but they always stay in the phone. Better to have them twice than not at all. I also record messages on my phone. It\u2019s quicker than typing, and sometimes I can capture the same thing in a few different ways by saying it a few times into the recorder.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I encourage you to scribble daily.<\/strong> An idea, a list, a thought, a snippet of a conversation you hear, capture it all!<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1jhVd2V\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1jhVd2V\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-10570\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Annmnarie1.jpg\" alt=\"Annmnarie!\" width=\"200\" height=\"174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Annmnarie1.jpg 463w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Annmnarie1-300x260.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>A few things to note about keeping notes \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>It\u2019s not like journaling or keeping a diary.<\/strong> As long as you know where all your notebooks are, the contents can be as random and disorganised as you like<\/p>\n<p>It can be a paragraph one day and two words the next. <strong>It\u2019s all about a capturing those random thoughts and story ideas before they fall out of your head<\/strong> \u2013 you can make sense of them later<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t think, \u2018oh I won\u2019t bother, I\u2019ll remember that\u2019. <strong>Chances are you won\u2019t remember, so write it down.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Some times when your mood is different, a particular thought or idea seems irrelevant.<\/strong> Resist the temptation to cross it out or trash it. You never know when it might come in handy<\/p>\n<p><strong>Make sure to go through the notebooks every so often and see what gems are in there that you can use; then mark the ones you\u2019ve used.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I\u2019ve got a number of stories whose origins come from scrappy notes I captured in some notebook or other.<\/strong> Two of these stories, I send as free gifts when folk sign up to my website. One came from notes I made when I was at a wedding. Another was came from a couple of sentences I jotted down after someone told me they were leaving their job (and delighted to be doing so).
