Throughout the course of a normal day my brain comes up with a half-hundred weird ideas, only a handful of which are engaging enough to write about. My problem is that when an idea comes to mind I am usually nowhere near a computer to type it up. So the idea shrivels and dies.
An obvious solution to this would be to carry a notepad around. This is not viable for me because not only is my handwriting beyond horrendous, I also often wear short sleeve shirts and a tie to work. If you add to my typical ensemble a notepad and a pen… well you get the picture.
On the rare occasions when an idea surfaces and I am sitting close to a keyboard, I seem to be unable to fully articulate the idea enough to flesh them out. My thought process resembles the jumbled, half-formed and distracted pattern of a stand-up comedian wired on caffiene.
Uh... I just lost my train of thought.
